Photograph of Harmony Hall, also known as Fort Bowman, a limestone home and fort located just north of Strasburg.

Constructed ca. 1753 for George Bowman, the structure is one of the oldest surviving structures in Shenandoah County.

Apart for a small Greek Revival portico addition, shown here, the house is almost unchanged from its original Germanic stone design.

The home is located along an undisturbed section of the Old Valley Pike and its graveyard contains the burial sites of Isaac Bowman who assisted George Rogers Clark and Samuel Kercheval, early Shenandoah Valley Historian.

The building was named to the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1969.
