The John Brown IV House is a historic colonial house at 703 Pearse Road in Swansea, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, clapboard siding, and a gambrel roof pierced by two gabled dormers. An enclosed entrance portico projects at the center of the main facade, and ells extend the house to the rear. The house was built c. 1752, and is a well-preserved example of a typical period farmhouse from the period. The entry portico and enlarged window above are Colonial Revival (early 20th century) alterations. The Brown family were locally prominent farmers and landowners.[2]

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