The Bower is an 1806 residence, originally built in the Federal style in Jefferson County, West Virginia, United States.
A land grant from Lord Fairfax, General Stephen lived at "Bower Lodge" from 1753 to 1772, when he moved to his residence in Martinsburg, Virginia, a town he founded.
During the American Civil War, J. E. B. Stuart set up a headquarters at The Bower at Adam Stephen Dandridge II's invitation.
A horse bred at The Bower was given as a gift to General Robert E. Lee to use when his primary mount, "Traveller", needed a rest.
