The Ruffner House, also known as Luray Tannery Farm, is a historic home and farm complex located at Luray, Page County, Virginia. It was built in two phases, about 1825 and about 1851. It is a two-story, Federal / Greek Revival style brick dwelling with a hipped with deck roof, a stone foundation, and one-story porches on the two fronts. The house was remodeled in the 1920s. Also on the property are the contributing rambling two-story frame residence known as The Cottage; a stone spring house with attached brick pumphouse that served an adjacent tannery; schoolhouse and shop; root cellar; secondary barn; dairy; machinery shed; chicken house; a swimming pool; an 1890s bank barn, and the small Ruffner Cemetery.
