The William Davis Miller House, also known as the Wakefield Mansion, is a Colonial Revival estate in the Wakefield village of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Designed by Providence architect Albert Harkness and built in the mid-1930s for William Davis Miller—a prominent civic leader and trustee of Brown University and the Providence Public Libraries—the 10.7-acre property exemplifies the country estates that flourished in Rhode Island during that era. The estate comprises a substantial main house, garage, and water tank, all completed during the Depression-era building period. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, it remains a notable example of interwar Colonial Revival residential architecture in the region.
