Shumaker-Lewis House, also known as Virgil A. Lewis House, was a historic home located in Mason, West Virginia. It was built about 1885, and was a two-story Victorian-era frame cottage. It featured a two tier Eastlake movement style porch. It was the home of Virgil A. Lewis (1848-1912), the first State Historian and Archivist of West Virginia, 1905–1912. It was the headquarters of the Mason City Historical Society.[2] It was demolished in 2014 and the Virgil A. Lewis Park now occupies the site.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
