The Rimshaw House is a foreboding and decaying, two-story Victorian Italianate structure in the town of Mayberry. It's location is unrevealed, but dialogue suggests it is somewhere on the outskirts of town. The house was once owned by a deceased local man who was simply known as "Old Man Rimshaw." He was most likely a private man, since Barney mentions that Old Man Rimshaw didn't want anyone near his house, implying the house has been empty since he and Andy were kids. A moonshiner named Big Jack Anderson once secretly set up his bootlegging business within the house, using the house's "haunted" legend to his advantage. Otis Campbell was well aware of the moonshiner and his business. Once Andy uncovered the truth, Otis's secret was revealed, along with "Big Jack."
