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.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
