Bishop William Wallace Duncan House, also known as the DuPre House, is a historic home located at Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was designed by G. L. Norrman and built about 1886. It is a two-story, asymmetrical, clapboard and cedar shingled dwelling in the Queen Anne style. It has a high-pitched roof pierced by six chimneys, a decorative mosaic tile front porch landing, a massive wood shingle-clad cylindrical tower, and stained glass windows.[2][3] It was moved from its original location at 249 N. Church St. to its present location in November 1999.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, delisted in 2005, and relisted in 2009.[1]
