Most buildings date from the nineteenth century.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the district as a largely intact nineteenth-century village with a commercial core surrounded by residential streets. It contains a wide range of styles, from Georgian and Federal to Gothic Revival, Second Empire and Colonial Revival. Notable buildings include the A. J. Davis-designed Delamater House and the Montgomery House, where General Richard Montgomery took command of the northern forces in 1775.","narrative":"Rhinebeck Village Historic District takes in much of the present village, about 340 buildings on roughly 167 acres on a flat plain east of the Hudson River. Streets lined with moderately scaled nineteenth-century buildings, large hardwood trees, bluestone sidewalks, hitching posts and period fences give the village its character. A commercial core at the junction of Mill, Montgomery and Market Streets is ringed by medium-density residential blocks. The buildings span Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. Notable examples include the Delamater House, designed by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1844, and the Montgomery House, where General Richard Montgomery took command of the northern forces in 1775. Local builder Stephen McCarty is credited with several Greek Revival houses. The district was listed because it preserves the scale, density and architectural variety of the village as it stood in the later nineteenth century, despite some modern siding on individual buildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Alexander Jackson Davis (Delamater House, 1844); Stephen McCarty, local carpenter-builder; Ralph Decker of Rhinebeck (row of Bracketed cottages)","architectural_style":"Colonial Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Bracketed, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Victorian Residential, Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied; mostly private ownership with some public.
