The Joy Homestead, also known as the Job Joy House, is a historic house on Old Scituate Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. This 2+1⁄2-story gambrel-roof wood-framed house was built between 1764 and 1778. It was occupied by members of the Joy family until 1884, and was acquired by the Cranston Historical Society in 1959.[2] It was a stopping point on the first day's march in 1781 of the French Army troops marching from Providence to Yorktown, Virginia during the American Revolutionary War.[3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1] The Historical Society offers tours.
