The Woods–Gerry House (or Dr. Marshall Woods House) is an historic house on 62 Prospect Street in Providence, Rhode Island, United States. It is a large, three story brick structure, designed by Richard Upjohn and built in 1860 for Dr. and Mrs. Marshall Wood. It is the largest surviving 19th-century house in Providence, measuring in width and in depth. It features restrained Italianate styling, most evident in its porch and porte-cochere, and in its roofline. The building currently houses the Admissions office for the Rhode Island School of Design.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
The first floor of the house now holds the Rhode Island School of Design’s main undergraduate exhibition space, the Woods-Gerry Gallery. The gallery uses the historic rooms for rotating shows: group exhibitions during fall semester and Wintersession, and weekly senior shows in the spring.
