The Hooper House is a historic house at 306 Hortonville Road in Swansea, Massachusetts. The 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame house was built c. 1790, and is located on what was once a major route from the Gardner's Neck area to Rehoboth. It is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century farmhouse. The main facade is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance flanked by sidelights and pilasters, and topped by an entablature. The property includes an early two-car garage (c. 1920s), an 1890 barn, and a stone wellhouse (c. 1920).[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
