The Jacob Bowman House is a historic house at 2470 Polk Road in rural south-central Shenandoah County, Virginia, southwest of Edinburg. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a truncated hip roof and weatherboard siding. It was built about 1840, and is a good early example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture in the county. The property also includes a 19th-century bank barn and other outbuildings, as well as the remains of an early springhouse.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
