The Captain George Dorrance House is an historic house in Foster, Rhode Island. It is located on the west side of the road, a short way south of its junctions with Plain Woods Road, not far from the Connecticut border. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gable roof and a large central chimney. The main block was built c. 1720, and a leanto was added c. 1750. It is one of the best-preserved early 18th-century houses in the state.[2]
