The Old Thomas James Store in Mathews Court House, Virginia pre-dates the American Civil War. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2008. It has also been known as The Old Store and as James Store.^[1]

It has been moved once or twice in its history, including in 1899, and is now located behind the Sibley's Store.^[3]

It is individually listed on the NRHP but is also a contributing property in a historic district that is NRHP-listed, the Sibley's and James Store Historic District.
