Welcome to the Rutherford House!
The earliest record of the Rutherford House was a 1922 article in Pacific Yachting magazine. The house originally served as the local post office, sea plane dock, soda fountain and pool hall for Halfmoon Bay during the first half of the 20th century. The house has remained a Rutherford family treasure ever since. For the last three years, both the house and the grounds have undergone extensive restoration.
