The only hint of its importance is a photo caption naming it the Sherwood Anderson House and a status note listing it as a National Historic Landmark under the name Ripshin Farm.","narrative":"Ripshin is a building located on the north side of Route 732, roughly one-tenth of a mile east of its intersection with Route 603, near Trout Dale in Grayson County, Virginia. A 1970 photograph taken from the north is captioned as the Sherwood Anderson House. The property was entered in the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1971, after the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission sent its submission in March 1971. A later locator card marks it as a National Historic Landmark and gives the landmark name as Ripshin Farm. The surviving file consists mainly of a photograph form, a map form based on the 1959 Trout Dale, Virginia, USGS quadrangle, and administrative correspondence. The nomination form with the description and statement of significance is missing, so the architect, builder, style, construction date and reasons for listing cannot be stated from this record.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:56.899439-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/11/6810/41681011/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/71000979.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000979/c10c036973-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/71000979/c10c036973-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ripshin_house_from_southwest.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ripshin_house_from_southwest.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41681011","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripshin_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7335755"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/grayson-county/ripshin-71000979/"}
