It has a manor house begun in the 1790s and enlarged in the 1850s and 1890s, a tenant house and barn complex from the 1850s, and an 1890s carriage house.","why_significant":"The estate is argued to be a distinguished example of estate architecture in Rhinebeck and to be tied to some of the area's most prominent families, including the Rutsens, Schuylers and Starrs. Its changes from a Federal-period mill seat to a Georgian-inspired gentleman's estate show shifting tastes and lifestyles among the local elite. The carriage house was designed by McKim, Mead and White.","narrative":"Near Rhinebeck, The Grove is a country estate of about 21 acres beside the Landsman Kill. Its brick manor house was built in the mid-1790s by Philip J. Schuyler as a two-story, five-bay Federal mansion on a former mill site. Later owners added a third story, rear service wings, a library and a classical verandah, giving the house its Neoclassical appearance by the 1890s. The grounds also hold a picturesque tenant house, barn complex and wagon shed from the mid-nineteenth century, and a Georgian-inspired brick carriage house designed by McKim, Mead and White in the 1890s, along with stone and brick gate walls. The estate matters for its link to the Rutsen, Schuyler and Starr families and for showing how a local estate shifted from milling to genteel country life, with its architecture moving from regional Federal forms toward more cosmopolitan models. Five buildings and two structures contribute to the property.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Carriage house: McKim, Mead and White; manor house and tenant house architects unknown; builders unknown","architectural_style":"Federal manor house with Neoclassical additions; Georgian-inspired carriage house; Picturesque tenant house","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition rated good; manor house interior has deteriorated through vacancy and lack of maintenance after use as dormitory space in the 1960s; carriage house converted to a residence; present use residence.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:45.317693-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/87001094.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001094/4957347f2b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001094/4957347f2b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RhinebeckNY_TheGrove.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RhinebeckNY_TheGrove.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75312710","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grove_(Rhinebeck,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7738388"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/dutchess-county/grove-the-87001094/"}
