The Rutherglen Mansion on Mt. Solo was originally built as the home of Long-Bell Vice President John D. Tennant, who moved in on February 1, 1927. The 13,000 square foot house is built almost entirely of Long-Bell products and other local materials. After Tennant's death in 1949, his family sold the house. It was used as a nursing home, a girl's home and a meeting place for a church before becoming a restaurant and bed & breakfast in 1994. The Rutherglen Mansion, also known as the J. D. Tennant House, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1984.
