Rutherfurd Hall

Rutherfurd Hall is a three-story mansion with 38 rooms built in the Tudor Revival style, designed by architect Whitney Warren in 1902. The structure is constructed of brick and stone and sits on extensive grounds with various outbuildings and support facilities.

The estate was built in the early 1900s as a private residence and remained a family home for decades. Its recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 acknowledged its architectural and social historical significance.

The estate served as a gathering place for prominent visitors from politics and high society who used its rooms and grounds. These visits reflected its role as a center for social gatherings and connections.

The site now operates as an education and event center managed by Allamuchy Township School District, offering guided tours and cultural programs. Visitors should check availability of tours in advance.

The grounds were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, the renowned landscape architects behind many American estates. Beyond ornamental gardens, the property includes a boathouse, swimming beach, hydroelectric powerhouse, golf course, and kennels.
