The stone building features a low-sloping jerkin roof, wooden porches, substantial brick chimneys, and random-width pegged oak flooring in the lobby.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt influenced the 1940 construction by requesting the design to replicate Kipsbergen, an 18th-century Rhinebeck residence of his ancestors.

The building integrates local Dutch architectural traditions through its fieldstone construction, reflecting the heritage of early Hudson Valley settlers.

Located on Mill Street at the village center, this active postal facility serves the 12572 ZIP code area of Rhinebeck.

The structure incorporates stones from the ruins of the Beekman House, with inscriptions marking the origins of these historical materials.
