The Allen–Madison House, designated Quarters A (Building D-272) by the United States Navy, is an historic house on Marine Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is located on the grounds of the former Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center, set on an isolated plot apart from the main portion of the base. The house is a 2 1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, built c. 1801 by John Allen. The house Allen built is a replacement for an older house which was burned by British forces during the American Revolutionary War. It is five bays wide, with a large central chimney, and a centered entrance with modest Federal trim. A four-bay ell, also a 19th-century construction, extends to the rear (north), and there is also a screened sitting porch. The farm was owned by members of the Madison family from about 1825 to 1909, and was acquired by the Navy in 1941. The Battalion Center was closed in 1974.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
