The Rathbun House is a historic house at 343 Beacon Drive in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its exterior trim is simple and lacking in significant detailing. The interior plan is a typical five-room setup, with a narrow entry hall, two rooms on either side of the chimney, and the kitchen behind. It is one of a small number of surviving mid-18th century farmhouses in the town. It was probably one of four houses built in the area by members of the Rathbun family.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
