The John O'Brien Residence, a Second Empire Victorian built in 1875, is one of the Village of Rhinebeck's most well-known landmark homes. Featured in 'Rhinebeck's Historic Architecture' the author, Nancy Kelly, notes it was the first home in the village to have gas lighting. Soaring three stories up, the home is distinctive with its straight mansard roofs, ornate hood above the front entrance and 2-dimensional carving and anthemion-leaf cast-iron cresting. A complete renovation was finished in 2015 while carefully preserving its vintage details, which include 3 marble fireplaces; a 3-story mahogany staircase; plaster relief moldings and medallions; wideboard and parquet floors; custom woodwork and other original details.
