Thomas Harrison House
Thomas Harrison House, Historic house in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
The Thomas Harrison House features limestone walls, a gable roof, and a basement built over a natural spring at 30 West Bruce Street.
Recent studies revealed that the house was constructed between 1790 and 1800, contrary to earlier beliefs of its establishment in 1750 by Thomas Harrison.
The house stands as the oldest structure in Harrisonburg, representing the architectural methods and building materials used in late 18th century Virginia.
The City of Harrisonburg collaborates with Bridgewater College's Margaret Grattan Weaver Institute to maintain and restore this historical property.
Archaeological research uncovered that Thomas Harrison, despite being the namesake of both the house and city, never actually lived in this limestone dwelling.
