The William P. Mason House is a historic house at 5 Mason Street in Swansea, Massachusetts. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. The main facade is asymmetrical, with an off-center gable and its entry sheltered by a bracketed hood. A 1-1/2 story ell extends to the rear, with a porch extending along its side. The house was built c. 1860, and is a fine local example of vernacular Gothic Revival styling. It occupied a prominent role in the village of Barneyville, serving as hotel, tavern, and post office at various times before about 1930, when it reverted to strictly residential use.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
