Caryswood is a historic home located near Evington, Campbell County, Virginia. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story frame building in an “L” configuration, which is covered by a low, hipped roof. It has a two-story, rear addition, with a one-story kitchen addition. The house is covered in flush (presumably ship-lapped or tongue-and-groove) siding, which creates a regular, smooth, somewhat monolithic appearance. The house has Italianate and Greek Revival decorative details. Also on the property are an 1856 stable, the remains of an icehouse, a smokehouse, and an office.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
