The Joseph Davis House is an historic house at 41 Elm Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Shingle style house was built in 1884 to a design by the Boston architectural firm of Peabody & Stearns, and is one of the most elaborate of that style in the city. It was built for Joseph Davis, the son of prominent Worcester lawyer Isaac Davis. He lived there until 1890, selling the property to William Rice, who became president of the Washburn and Moen Company the following year. The property remained in the Rice family until 1953.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
