The Joy Homestead, also known as the Job Joy House, is an historic house on Old Scituate Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. This 2 1⁄2-story gambrel-roof wood-frame house was built sometime 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. The house is believed to a stopping point on the first day's march in 1781 of the French Army troops en route from Providence to Yorktown during the American Revolutionary War.
