It takes in roughly 340 residential, public and commercial buildings on about 167 acres, mostly from the nineteenth century.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district preserves the nineteenth-century density, scale and character of a Hudson Valley village, with a commercial core surrounded by residential streets. It shows a wide range of styles from Georgian to Colonial Revival, including work by A. J. Davis and local carpenter-builders. It also includes the Montgomery House, tied to the 1775 Revolutionary War command of General Richard Montgomery.","narrative":"Rhinebeck's village center sits on a flat plain about a mile and a half east of the Hudson River. This district covers about 167 acres and some 340 buildings, a large share of the present village. Moderately scaled nineteenth-century houses, churches and shops line streets with large hardwood trees, bluestone sidewalks, hitching posts and period fences. A commercial core stands where Mill, Montgomery and Market Streets meet, surrounded by medium-density residential blocks. Styles range from Georgian and Federal to Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire and Colonial Revival. Notable buildings include the Delamater House, designed by A. J. Davis in 1844, and the Montgomery House, associated with General Richard Montgomery taking command of northern forces in 1775. Local builders such as Stephen McCarty and Ralph Decker shaped parts of the streetscape. The village's density and scale remain much as they were in the later nineteenth century, which is the main reason the area was recognized as a district.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.
