Joy Homestead, also called the Job Joy House, is a colonial-era wood-framed house in Cranston, Rhode Island, built sometime between 1764 and 1778 and owned by the Joy family until 1884. Its long occupancy gives it the feel of a lived-in homestead rather than a purely formal landmark. During the American Revolutionary War, it served in 1781 as a stopping point on the first day’s march of French Army troops traveling from Providence toward Yorktown, connecting the property to the campaign that helped end the war. Preserved by the Cranston Historical Society, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
