South Spring Ranch

The South Spring Ranch, on Rt. 2 in Roswell, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The listing included five contributing buildings on 7 acres (2.8 ha).

The ranch was established in 1874 by John Chisum, to serve as headquarters of his wide-ranging cattle operations. It has also been known as Jinglebob Ranch.

Its main house, built in 1902, is deemed non-contributing to the historic character of the ranch, due to modifications in the 1950s. It was originally a three-story red brick mansion.

Another brick house, built in early 1900s in "Hipped Box" style, is contributing.
