Linkous–Kipps House is a historic home in Blacksburg[3], Montgomery County, Virginia. A well-preserved example of early-19th-century architecture in the area, it is a two-story, L-shaped log structure with a hall-parlor plan layout. The oldest section was built in the early 19th century, but the house is known to have undergone improvements since that time, significantly in the early 1850s.[4] Due to this, the site also shows how this style of dwelling was historically modified for changing use.
Also on the property is a spring box and a frame spring house, both of which were built in the early 20th century and contribute to the site's NRHP listing along with the house itself.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1] At the time of its listing, it was located in Merrimac, but as of 2023 it is located within the bounds of Blacksburg.[3]
