The William and Jane Phinney House is a historic house at 555 Phinney's Lane in the Centerville area of Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c. 1730, this five-bay 1-1/2 story Cape style house is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Centerville. It is also significant as an early example of a bowed roof, a notable regional variant. William Phinney, the first owner, was probably the builder; he was a carpenter by trade. The only major alterations have been the addition of electricity and plumbing.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
