James F. Murray House, also known as Murray-Abrams House, was a historic home located at Chester, Hancock County, West Virginia. It was built 1904-1905, and was a blond brick, "L"-shaped dwelling in a combined Classical Revival / American Foursquare style. It featured a deep wraparound porch and porte cochere and slate covered intersecting hipped roofs. Also on the property is a large 2 1/2 story frame barn built in 1903. It was the home of James Fraser Murray, (1844-1925), an individual important in the Northern Panhandle's developing oil industry. The house has been destroyed.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
