The Rufus P. Jordan House, also known as Mar Vista, is a historic house located at the north end of Longboat Key in Manatee County, Florida. The house is built out of rusticated cement blocks fabricated on site. Rufus P. Jordon built the house for himself and the same remained a single family residence until 1942, when then owners, Wayne Sipe and his wife, along with the relatives of Rufus Jordan and his wife, divided it into apartments.
