Robinson-Tabb House is a historic home located near Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia. It is a two-and-a-half story Federal-style residence. The original section was built about 1818 of logs, with brick added between about 1840 and 1844. It has a double-gallery recessed porch on the north side and a stone outbuilding dated to about 1818. [2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. [1]

Lyndon B Johnson mentioned the house in his memoirs (a collection published posthumously in 1977), noting that his grandmother had once stayed there during a family journey to Fayetteville.
