William Whalley Homestead is a historic farm in Little Compton, Rhode Island. It sits at 33 Burchard Avenue and covers about 2.1 acres. The main house is a one-and-a-half-story wooden building, likely built between 1815 and 1830. It’s a Cape-style house, five openings across the front with a central chimney, showing Federal-style influences. The property also includes a late-19th-century gabled barn and a stone-and-wood outbuilding, all bordered by a low stone wall. The site is a well-preserved example of a typical 19th-century Rhode Island farmstead. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1988 (reference number 88001127).
