The William Tichenor House, near Upton, Kentucky, is a historic house built around 1820. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

It was built as a two-story dogtrot-style double pen house. The breezeway was later enclosed (c.1910). A separate log kitchen was linked by a frame addition c.1900.

It became the home of the William Tichenor family; William Tichenor was a shareholder in the 1896 formation of the Sonora Bank and he had a large farm south of

Sonora.

It was deemed notable "as a relatively unaltered example of a two-story dogtrot style home. It is one of the five most significant dogtrot log homes located in the county and retains its original plan."{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=88001753}}|title=Historic Resources of Hardin County: William Tichenor House (HD-122) |publisher=National Park Service|author=Philip Thomason |date=December 2, 1986 |accessdate=March 22, 2018}} With {{NRHP url|id=88001753|photos=y|title=two photos from 1983}}.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=64000226}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Hardin County Multiple Resource Area - Partial Inventory |publisher=National Park Service|author=Philip Thomason |date=December 2, 1986 |accessdate=March 22, 2018}}
