Riggs-Riley House: This Federal style house is strongly linked to American political history.
Text
This house, built in 1816, is an outstanding example of Federal style architecture, especially its fanlight above the front door. It was once the temporary residence of Jackie Kennedy and her two children after they left the White House following her husband's assassination, and the home of W. Averell Harriman, a Cabinet member, Under Secretary of State, ambassador, and one-time Govenor of New York. Therefore, in addition to its remarkable architecture, the home is strongly linked to American political history.
