The Rengstorff House is Mountain View's oldest home. It is a great example of Victorian Italianate architecture on the West Coast. It has 12 rooms, almost 4,000 sq ft in size. Full restoration of the venue was made in 1991 and was beautifully done by a community based organization called Friends of 'R' House.
With such rich history and architecture, this has indeed attracted many couples who would like to tie the knot at a romantic venue for their wedding day.
