Provost is a historic home located near Powhatan, Powhatan County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1800, as a 1 1/2-story, three bay, frame dwelling. It was expanded by an additional three bays in the mid-19th century. The building housed a general store that operated there from at least 1867 until about 1945, and a post office from 1902 to 1939. Also on the property are the contributing smokehouse with attached wash house (formerly a blacksmith shop), a corn house and a machine shed.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
