The Captain Stephen Olney House is an historic at 138 Smithfield Road in North Providence, Rhode Island. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a pair of interior chimneys. The principal exterior decoration is in the front door surround, which features pilasters supporting an entablature and gable pediment. The house was built in 1802 by Stephen Olney, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, on what was then a large farm.
