The Joseph Slocum House is an historic house on Slocum Road (about 1/4 mile south of Indian Corner Road) in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. It faces south on the east side of Slocum Road. The house has been dated to the mid-18th century based on architectural evidence; its first documented owner was Joseph Slocum, in the early 19th century. The house is a rare surviving 18th-century farmhouse, a type once numerous in the town.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
