Morrison House was a historic home located at Harrisonburg, Virginia. It was built between 1820 and 1824 for Joseph Thornton[3], and was a two-story, brick Federal style town house with a two-story, brick rear ell. It had a metal sheathed side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1] The Morrison House was one of the few early homes remaining in downtown Harrisonburg, and stood in an excellent state of preservation until 1982.[5] In February 1982, the Wetsel Seed Company demolished the house for use as a parking lot.[5]
