George Oscar Thompson House, also known as the Sam Ward Bishop House, was a historic home located near Tazewell, Tazewell County, Virginia. It was built in 1886–1887, and was a two-story, three-bay, T-shaped frame dwelling. It had a foundation of rubble limestone. The front facade featured a one-story porch on the center bay supported by chamfered posts embellished with sawn brackets. Also on the property were a contributing limestone spring house, a one-room log structure (late 18th- to early 19th-century), and a -story frame structure (1831 through 1851). Tradition suggests the latter buildings were the first and second houses built by the Thompson family. and Accompanying photo Read more on Wikipedia
