Robert Lyles Harmony Hall was probably built in 1722 or 1723 on land called "Battersea", patented in 1662 to Humphrey Haggett, a lawyer. The house was named "Harmony Hall" in 1793 by the wife of Walter Dulaney Addison, daughter of Hesselius, the portrait painter. |

Colonel William Lyles owned Harmony Hall in 1795. The grand staircase has saddles on the rails. The bullseye window, the foliated dormers, the cornice, and the double door on the front, were all added in the late Eighteenth Century. The brick base and string course are moulded. |
