It is called the most architecturally distinguished residence of its type and period in the multiple resource area. It is also linked to Francis Timoney, a prominent local brick manufacturer.","narrative":"Dutchess Manor is a two-story brick residence built in 1889 on Breakneck Road in Fishkill, facing Route 9-D with woodlands separating it from the Hudson River. It was part of the estate of Francis Timoney, an Irish immigrant who bought a brick yard in 1886 and became a wealthy brick manufacturer with three yards along the railroad line beside the river. The house shows Second Empire character through its mansard roof with decorated exposed rafters, brick quoins, rounded-head windows with projecting brick surrounds, gabled dormers with quatrefoil cutwork, and four arcaded chimney stacks. A two-story brick carriage house with a cupola, now apartments, stands to the north, and a former gatehouse completes the complex. Later additions for restaurant use do not seriously detract from the original buildings. The property is considered the most architecturally distinguished residence of its type and period in the Hudson Highlands survey area, and it reflects a significant local industry.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect and builder unknown","architectural_style":"Second Empire","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition fair; now used as a restaurant, with the carriage house converted to apartments.
