George Oscar Thompson House, also known as the Sam Ward Bishop House, is a historic home located near Tazewell, Tazewell County, Virginia. It was built in 1886–1887, and is a two-story, three bay, "T"-shaped frame dwelling. It sits on foundation of rubble limestone. The front facade features a one-story porch on the center bay supported by chamfered posts embellished with sawn brackets. Also on the property are a contributing limestone spring house, and a one-room log structure (late 18th- to early 19th-century) and a 1 1/2-story frame structure (1831 through 1851) which tradition suggests were the first and second houses of the Thompson family.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
