Westcote is a historic house in Cranston, Rhode Island. This 1-1/2 story Greek Revival cottage was built c. 1843, and was originally located on Oaklawn Avenue before being moved to its present location. It was built by a member of the locally prominent Westcott family as a farmhouse, and is a well-preserved and little-altered example of vernacular Greek Revival style.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
