The Ballou–Weatherhead House (or "Welcome Weatherhead House") is an historic house on Tower Hill Road in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The house is a 1+12-story, center-chimney dwelling built on Cumberland Hill around 1748 and expanded during the Federal period, around 1799, at which point the style was changed to Federal architecture. The house has a broad gable roof, a simple entry in the asymmetrical side-gable façade, a central entry at the gable end, and a side wing. The house contains high-quality joinery and trim, likely executed by one of two house-wrights associated with the property.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1993.[1]
