Rengstorff House After being moved two times and saved from demolition, the historic Rengstorff House now stands proud as one of the finest examples of Victorian Italianate architecture on the West Coast. It was fully restored in 1991, and now has an accompanying replica water tower and restored windmill.
We are pleased to announce the full re-opening of the house to the public in September 2021 with a series of 30th Anniversary educational tours and activities. The general public is invited to join in on special activities being developed throughout the month of September, and to learn about holiday décor in the month of December.

If you are planning a wedding or special event, the rental program is back and better than ever!
