Panel 7 of Rhinebeck Post Office Mural. From "Murals in the Rhinebeck Post Office." "Sunday morning before Dutch Reformed Church service. This building is drawn from the still standing clapboard Durch Reformed Church at Tivoli. Two walls of the present structure (built by John Coddington in 1809) are made of contributed stone, tow of bought brick. It was placed on the site of the first church of 1733. Before that date the Dutch Reformed congregation worshipped in Kingston, in the Wey's Crossing Church, or at infrequent services held in Traphagen's Tavern by visiting clergymen. The steeple was added in 1818. On the lawn a number of persons can be recognized, Isaac Roosevelt talking to Dominie Petrus deWitt, Edward Livingston and his brother-in-law Thomas Tillotson, Egbert Benson and Morgan Lewis walking together. The group around the church would include representatives of such Rhibeneck families as the Van Wagenens, Kips, Radcliffes, Van Ettens, Trempers, Pells, Schultzes, Heermances, DeLamaters, Browns, Ostroms, Cramers, Van Vliets, etc. To the right is a bit of Traphagen's Tavern, now the Beekman Arms, built in 1703. . . At first a small Dutch stone house, it was later enlarged and capped with a Victorian Mansard Roof, being remodeled by Harrie T. Lindeburg in 1917. The social center of the Flatts, as Rhinebeck was called, has always been this intersection of the Sepasco Trail with the Highway. To the left, Margaret Beekman Livingston and her son the Chancellor arrive in her coach. . . The three buildings in the background are, reading from left to right, The Bowery House, used as a Tavern (built about 1800), the "Colonial Cottage" (built about 1820), and the Richard Montgomery House (built 1733-- moved to its present site 1859), now the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Its rather ornate porch is certainly a considerably later addition." Mural commissioned for Rhinebeck, NY post office by WPA Section of Fine Arts Art in Public Buildings Program, photographed by C.B.
