Rutland, a new mixed-use development in Hanover County, has a star in its midst. Rutland House, built in the late 1700's or early 1800's, has been in the Timberlake family until the land was purchased in 2004 by HHHunt Corporation for development. Rutland, when completed will have 494 single-family homes, town houses and condominiums as well as retail and office space located on approximately 202 acres.

The house was moved from its original location near Route 301 and Atlee Road approximately 800 feet to its new location and new purpose as the Clubhouse for the Rutland community. This is not the first time the home has had an alternative use. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and his cavalry division of the Army of Northern Virginia was headquartered at Rutland House from July 12 until July 23, 1862. This followed the Seven Days Battle of 1862.

The grand opening of Rutland House, held on June 26, 2008, ushers in a new era for this historical building. After a complete renovation, it is ready to begin a new life as a site to be utilized and enjoyed by the Rutland community. Therefore, what’s old is new again. If only walls could talk!
