Tunker House, also known as the Yount-Zigler House, is a historic home located near Broadway, Rockingham County, Virginia. The house consists of a two-story, three bay, brick main block, with a brick and frame rear ell. The brick portion of the rear ell is the oldest section and dates to about 1798. It was later raised to a full two stories in the 1830s. The main block was added between 1802 and 1806. From the early-19th century until 1830 the house was used for religious services by the German Baptists (or Tunker Brethren). It was the home of Peter Nead (1796-1877), from the time he married Elizabeth, the daughter of the builder Benjamin Yount, in 1825, until 1839.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
