Known as the Kip-Beekman-Heermance House, it was built in 1700 by Hendrick Kip, Patentee. It was also the home of Col. Henry Beekman Jr. and later of his Grandson Col. Henry Livingston (1757-1823). Livingston’s daughter Margaret sold the property to Andrew Heermance. Eventually it came into the hand of the Suckley family, descendants of Col. Henry Beekman. It burned down in 1910. The house was of such local prominence that Franklin Delano Roosevelt based the design of the Rhinebeck Post Office on the manor house and used the ruins for the stone construction of the building. The cannonball hole highlighted in the last picture was replicated in the 1939 post office that FDR built. In the new pictures, far left, you can see the last remains of the left most (north east) corner wall, which was left there for posterity.
