Rutherford House, Provincial historic resource in Strathcona, Edmonton, Canada.
The two-story red brick residence features Georgian Revival architecture with sandstone trim, tall chimneys, and columned porches near the University of Alberta campus.
Alexander Cameron Rutherford, the first Premier of Alberta, built this house in 1911 for $25,000 and named it Achnacarry after his ancestral castle in Scotland.
The kitchen location at the back of the house represents the historical position of women's domestic work in early 20th century Canadian society.
Visitors can explore exhibits, participate in guided tours, and attend educational programs that present information about Alexander Rutherford's life throughout the year.
A preserved black notebook belonging to Hazel Rutherford contains family recipes from the 1910s, including instructions for tomato relish and meat pies.
