Fort Bowman, Historic limestone building in Shenandoah County, United States.
The rectangular two-story Fort Bowman features limestone walls, dressed ceiling joists, and a gable roof with principal-purlin framing throughout the structure.
Pennsylvania German settler George Bowman constructed this fortified residence in 1753, which later became home to several notable military figures of the era.
The building demonstrates Pennsylvania-German architectural influences in the Shenandoah Valley through its construction methods and interior craftsmanship from the colonial period.
Fort Bowman stands northeast of the intersection between Routes 660 and U.S. 11, near Middletown, with limited public access as a private property.
The structure contains an original kitchen wing and iron wood portico, plus a dairy house and graveyard where Isaac Bowman rests.
