Harewood is one of several houses in the vicinity of Charles Town, West Virginia built for members of the Washington family.

The house was designed by John Ariss for Samuel Washington in 1770, using a center-hall, single-pile plan.

During the American Civil War, James Taylor (who accompanied Union troops in the area) sketched it and noted the luxury of its interior compared with the relatively plain late Georgian style exterior.

[7] Modern archeological excavations of a graveyard at Harewood noted that some remains were moved to the graveyard of Zion Episcopal Church in Charles Town in 1882, and have identified the remains of Lucy Payne (wife of George Steptoe Washington) and two of Samuel Washington's grandsons.
