The James Thompson House in Anchorage, Kentucky, built around 1894, is a wood-frame residence on a limestone foundation exemplifying eclectic late-nineteenth-century American domestic design. Its architecture blends Shingle Style and Queen Anne elements, traditionally attributed to E.T. Hutchings. The structure features a modified gambrel roof, an asymmetrical front facade, and a wraparound porch extending across three sides, creating the informal, spatially generous character typical of the era. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it survives as a notable example of regional residential architecture from the Gilded Age.
