Rhinebeck Post Office



If you're in the area, I recommend a short visit to the Rhinebeck Post Office. The building dates from 1939, and was modeled after "Kipsbergen," an 18th century Rhinebeck home occupied by Franklin Roosevelt's ancestors, the Beekmans. The mural on the walls of the building are incredible! You can see a number of them at Hudson River Gallery; for more information about the post office building itself see the article "FDR and Dutchess County Stone Buildings."
