Rutherfurd Hall is designated as a National and New Jersey State Historic Landmark. Famed architect Whitney Warren designed the 18,000 square foot Tudor country home in Allamuchy, NJ in 1904. Warren also designed Grand Central Station in New York City as Warren and Wetmore Architects (1903-1911). Frederick Law Olmsted & Sons designed the landscape plan and the plantings for the site.
Rutherfurd Hall, known by the family as the ‘Big House,’ was designed for Winthrop Rutherfurd (1862-1944) who was the son of Lewis Morris Rutherfurd (1816-1892) and Margaret Chanler Stuyvesant (?-1890) a descendant of Peter Gerard Stuyvesant. The Rutherfurd family land grant was made by the King of England in the early 1700s. Since early US history, the family has had a positive impact on this region. Through preservation and conservation, in the form of Allamuchy State Park and Rutherfurd Hall, we have the means to tell many meaningful historical stories, about citizens of New Jersey and their associates in the early 1900s.
