William Apollos James House is a historic home located at Bishopville, Lee County, South Carolina. It was built in 1903, as a one-story, Folk Victorian cottage with a center gabled dormer. It was enlarged and altered in 1911, in the Colonial Revival style, with the addition of a second story with hipped roof, and a hip-roofed wraparound porch.
