The General James Mitchell Varnum House is a historic house at 57 Peirce Street in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. The <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1773 for James Mitchell Varnum, who later served as a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. It is five bays wide, with two interior brick chimneys. Its main entry is sheltered by a portico supported by fluted Ionic columns and pilasters. A 19th-century addition extends from the rear of the main block. Notable later house residents include George A. Brayton, who served as Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The house was purchased in 1939 by the Varnum Continentals and has since served as a museum.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[2]
