John Rains House, Historic house museum in Rancho Cucamonga, United States
The John Rains House features red brick construction with a flat roof and multiple rooms, including an entry hall, parlor, bedrooms, and dining areas.
Built between 1860 and 1861, the property was acquired from the Tapia estate in 1858 and became one of California's first commercial wineries under John Rains' ownership.
The house serves as a branch of the San Bernardino County Museum, preserving the architectural and social elements of 1800s California residential life.
Located at 8810 Hemlock Street, the museum offers guided tours and hosts History Day events where visitors experience activities from nineteenth-century California.
The structure incorporates an advanced cooling system for its time, using underground ducts to circulate creek water beneath the building foundation.
