Hupp House, also known as the Frontier Fort and Hupp Homestead, is a historic home located in Strasburg, Shenandoah County, Virginia. It was built about 1755, and is a 4-story, rubble limestone Colonial-era dwelling. It is on a banked site and measures 20 feet wide by 40 feet deep. A concrete block east wing was added in 1956. The house has a steep gable roof and features a traditional Germanic central chimney and the interior framing appears original, with heavy traditional Germanic beams and roof structure.
