Thomas J. Michie House is a historic home located at Staunton, Virginia. It was built in 1847-1848, and is a two-story, three bay, Greek Revival style brick dwelling with a two-story wing. The front facade features a one-story, flat-roofed entrance porch supported by four slender Tuscan order columns. The interior has two elaborate country Federal mantels salvaged from a demolished home. It was built by Thomas J. Michie, who represented Augusta County in the Virginia House of Delegates. It was later the home of jurist Allen Caperton Braxton (1862-1914).[3]
