Boush–Tazewell House is a historic home located at Norfolk, Virginia, USA. It was built about 1783–1784, and is a two-story, Georgian frame house, five bays wide and two bays deep, with a slate covered deck-on-hip roof. It has a two-level, tetrastyle pedimented portico supported by slender Tuscan order columns on both levels. It originally stood in downtown Norfolk and was completely dismantled and re-erected in its present location around 1902. The house was purchased in 1810 by Congressman, Senator and Governor Littleton Waller Tazewell (1775-1860). His family continued to occupy the house until 1894.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
