K. Dimmick, general manager of the Radford Land and Improvement Company.","why_significant":"The house is presented as an especially pure example of the Queen Anne style, which was never common in Virginia. It is little altered since construction and is associated with Radford's boom days of the early 1890s, driven by iron deposits and water power.","narrative":"Built in 1891-92, this two-and-one-half-story house at 706 Harvey Street in Radford, Virginia, is an unusually pure example of the Queen Anne style, which was never widely used in Virginia. Its exterior combines ashlar stone and white clapboard on the first floor with green-stained, flared shingles above, along with bays, an oriel, gabled dormers and a curving verandah. Inside, a cherrywood staircase with carved griffins rises beneath a stained-glass window showing the four seasons, and pressed-tin ceilings appear in the main rooms. J. K. Dimmick, general manager of the Radford Land and Improvement Company, began the house as his residence during the town's early-1890s boom, which was fueled by iron deposits and water power. After the Panic of 1893 he left and the house stood vacant for several years. Lewis Harvey bought it in 1906, and his family kept it until 1974. Little altered, it remains a reminder of that boom period.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as excellent and unaltered; the form checks it as occupied and in private ownership, with a barn/workshop and a garage surviving on the property.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:57.94494-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/3/6828/41682803/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/76002228.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002228/9756b32a24-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002228/9756b32a24-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Skye Marthaler","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harvey_House_Radford_Virginia.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Skye Marthaler</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:Harvey_House_Radford_Virginia.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682803","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_House_(Radford,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16841472"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/radford/harvey-house-76002228/"}
