The Silas Clapp House is an historic house at East Greenwich Avenue in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1804 by Silas Clapp, who farmed a 100-acre (40 ha) parcel of land surrounding the house. It is a well-preserved example of vernacular Federal styling, with a five-bay main facade and a central entry with fanlight. There is a large central chimney, a feature more commonly found in older Georgian homes. Descendants of Clapp owned the property until the 1880s.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
