The Capt. Mial Pierce Farm is a historic farm at 177 Hornbine Road in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The central element of this farm complex is a 1+12-story wood-frame house built c. 1800, probably by Mial Pierce, a local militia captain in the American Revolutionary War, who is buried in a family plot on the property. The house is a Cape style cottage, which originally had a central chimney (removed during alterations c. 1850). There are two service ells dating to the 19th century. The complex includes a number of 19th century farm-related outbuildings. [2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]

The Codding Farm is a historic farmstead at 217 High Street in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. The farmstead consists of three buildings on just under 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land. The main house was built c. 1833, and its main block is a 1+12-story center-chimney Cape style structure. The side gable roof is pierced by two gable dormers, and the centered front entry is flanked by full-length sidelight windows and surrounded by wide, flat panels. There are single story ells built both left and right of the main house, whose front is set back from that of the main house and whose back wall is flush with that of the main house. One of these ells, both of which served in the 19th century as kitchens, may have been original, but there is evidence that the second is a later 19th century addition. The left addition has a further, smaller ell which was added in the 20th century, and the right wing has a utility shed addition that resembles the one on the left.
