Moses Taft House (Burrillville, Rhode Island)
The Moses Taft House is a historic house at 111 East Wallum Lake Road in Burrillville, Rhode Island. The -story side-gable Cape style house was built in 1786, and is a well-preserved example of early Federal architecture. It exhibits the typical five-bay facade, with the entry in the center bay, and a large central chimney. The house underwent a major restoration in the 2000s. Moses Taft, an early owner of the house, was a farmer and operated a nearby grist mill on the Clear River, with Seth Ross, who
resided on Eagle Peak Road.
Moses Taft, a 19th-century resident of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, spent time with Samuel W. Scott in Burrillville, but this house is not his namesake, it was built 26 years prior to his birth.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
