It is also valued as a well-preserved farmstead from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with distinctive construction details. Significance is at the local level.","narrative":"Set on level pastureland at the foot of Stony Man Mountain near Luray, this Page County farm grew around a two-story frame house thought to date to about 1872, the year after its builders' marriage was recorded in local sources as 1869 and the year Abram Printz bought a two-acre parcel. Abram Printz was a carpenter, builder and planing mill owner, and the form suggests he or his father Reuben built the house. Its mantels, doors and stair details blend vernacular Greek Revival and Victorian styling. Around the house stand a washhouse beside Persimmon Run, a meathouse, a garage, a bank barn with a 1930s straw shed, and a corncrib with wagon shelter. Most outbuildings date to the early twentieth century, when Abram's son Medford took an active role. Later owners, including the Huffman family, added to the house and barn. The property is recognized for its architecture and its well-preserved farm setting, with a period of significance from about 1872 to about 1940.","period_of_significance":"Ca. 1872-ca. 1940","architect_builder":"Sours, Raymond (barn addition builder)","architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Victorian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Retains overall integrity; the house and most outbuildings survive, with several secondary farm buildings lost and 1950s porch alterations and picture windows noted as intrusions.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:00.900304-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/8/6824/41682408/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/99001006.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001006/a009fef65c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/99001006/a009fef65c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"self","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Abraham_and_Sallie_Printz_Farmhouse.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">self</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Abraham_and_Sallie_Printz_Farmhouse.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682408","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_and_Sallie_Printz_Farm","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15177978"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/page-county/printz-abram-and-sallie-farm-99001006/"}
