The Rowell House is a historic house at 595 Gull Pond Road in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. A small 1.5 story Cape style house, it was probably built c. 1731, and is probably one of the oldest houses in Wellfleet. It has three bays, with a large chimney behind the leftmost bay, a configuration that would have allowed for the eventual enlarging of the house. The house was owned early in the 19th century by the Rowell sisters.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
