The T. Pierson Farm is a historic farm located at Hockessin, New Castle County, Delaware. The property includes three contributing buildings. They are a stone house (c. 1810) with late-19th century frame addition, a stone and frame bank barn (c. 1820), and a mid-19th century frame outbuilding. The house is a two-story, two-bay, gable-roofed building that is constructed with rubble fieldstone. It has a two-story, three-bay, frame wing to form a five-bay main facade. The barn features a pyramidal-roofed cupola with louvered sides atop the gable roof.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
