Bramble Hill is a historic house in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The two-story masonry house was built c. 1923–28 to a design by Providence architect Albert Harkness, and is a locally unique example of the French Norman Revival style. The exterior is in fieldstone, and its interior features extensive mahogany trim. The entry hall has a basket-weave brick floor, and the main hall has a large stone fireplace and parquet floor. It was commissioned by Doris Mather Briggs, a relative of the locally prominent Carpenter family, and is one of the few houses in the town for which an architect is known. ()
