The Morris Brown House is an historic house at 317 Rochambeau Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. It is a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame structure with a large central chimney. The main block is four bays wide and three deep, with a rear ell connecting the house to a 20th-century garage. Documentary evidence suggests it was built in 1793, while architectural evidence suggests an earlier construction date. The house is a well-preserved example of a typical vernacular 18th-century Rhode Island farmhouse, and is one of the few 18th century houses remaining in the city.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
