It also retains one of the few intact antebellum dependencies remaining in Petersburg. Its historic fabric and integrity are described as largely intact.","narrative":"Built between 1860 and 1862 on what was then the edge of Petersburg, this two-story brick house at 606 Harding Street was erected for George Washington Sutherland, a leading local grocer, and his wife Prudence. It has a double-pile, central-passage plan, salmon-colored pressed brick, a low-hipped slate roof, tripartite windows, bracketed eaves, and a Doric entry porch. An earlier one-room brick dwelling from about 1838 was adapted as a wing, and a two-story frame addition was in place by 1877. A contemporary two-story brick dependency at the rear is one of few surviving in the city. Inside are plaster ceiling medallions, wide pine floors and eight fireplaces. The house stood abandoned from about 1985 to 2000 before restoration, completed in 2011. It is recognized for its Italianate design, its intact antebellum service building, and its place in the Ravenscroft neighborhood. The grounds include a Yaupon Holly tied for the largest on record in the United States.","period_of_significance":"1838-1877","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century / Italianate","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored between 2000 and 2011 after a period of abandonment from about 1985 to 2000; currently a single-dwelling residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.349938-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/70/6824/41682470/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/11000837.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000837/3a2c5d43f6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000837/3a2c5d43f6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Nickmorgan2","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sutherland_house.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Nickmorgan2</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sutherland_house.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682470","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland_House_(Petersburg,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16900955"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/petersburg/sutherland-house-11000837/"}
