The Sanders House Center, includes a historic home (the Walter McDonald Sanders House) located at Bluefield, Tazewell County, Virginia. It was built between 1894 and 1896, and is a large two-story, three-bay, red brick Queen Anne style dwelling. A two-story, brick over frame addition was built in 1911. The House features a highly decorative, almost full-length, shed-roofed front porch; a pyramidal roof; and a corner turret with conical roof. Also on the property are the contributing limestone spring house, a frame smokehouse which contains a railroad museum, a frame granary, and an early-20th century small frame dwelling known as the Rosie Trigg Cottage, which houses the Tazewell County Visitor Center. .[3]

The House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
