Walker House is the historic home of a lawyer, county supervisor, and a school superintendent who was enslaved prior to the American Civil War.[2] It is at 1 Main Street in Gloucester, Gloucester County, Virginia and was built about 1880, and is a two-story, U-shaped, frame vernacular dwelling with traces of Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styles. It has a cross-gable roof, two-bay addition, and front porch. It was the home of Thomas Calhoun "T.C."
