The Capt. David Vickery House is an historic house at 33 Plain Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. It is a 1+12-story brick structure, five bays wide, with a side gambrel roof. It has Federal style framing around its front windows, with granite lintels beneath windows on the side elevation. The house was built c. 1795 by David Vickery, a captain of seafaring ships who traveled as far as the West Indies. It is a rare surviving brick gambrel from the Federal period, and also rare for its connection to the city's maritime trade.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
