St. Margaret of Antioch Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church in Staatsburg, New York, in the Diocese of New York. It is noted for its historic parish church, completed in 1892. The original Episcopal Church in Staatsburg was built in 1858 and functioned as a Mission for St. James Church of Hyde Park, located several miles south of Staatsburg. The foundation stone for the present church was laid in 1891 and the building, which was designed by Richard M. Upjohn, was completed in 1892. Upon its completion, the original church became the Staatsburg town library.Two of the church's stained-glass windows date to the 13th century. They were given to [Ogden Mills (financier)|Ogden Mills, Sr.]. Their origins are unclear (perhaps removed from a church in the war zone). We know they were given to Mills by the French government in thanks for his contributions to the war effort which included allowing the US government to use the families mansion in Paris. Mills donated the windows in memory of his wife, Ruth Livingston Mills. A pair on the church's north side, which feature Margaret of Antioch with a dragon, appear to have been made by J. Wippell & Co., but their path to the church is unknown. The church also has a Chapman tracker organ, installed 1895 and renovated in 1985. Horace Stringfellow was the inaugural priest and he was succeeded by Samuel R. Johnson, Chas L. Short (1876-1880), Francis J. Clayton (1880-1882), and George W.S. Ayres. It was under the latter's leadership that the congregation took the steps to become an official parish. As of 2023, Rev. Michael Corrigan serves as St. Margaret's Priest in Charge.

Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, nicknamed "Maid of the Meadows" and often simply referred to as the Esopus Light or Middle Hudson River Light is an active lighthouse on the Hudson River near Esopus, New York. The lighthouse stands on the west side of the channel, in the river, its granite foundation built atop piles that have been driven into the riverbed, and is accessible only by boat. Construction of the first lighthouse on the site began in 1838 when the land was ceded for $1.00 by the town of Esopus to the US government and the US government appropriated $6,000 to build the light. The light became active in 1839. It was a twin to the Roundout II lighthouse further north up the Hudson River. By 1867, however, the building was heavily damaged by flood and ice and funds for a new lighthouse were appropriated in 1870. The current lighthouse was completed in 1871 and is the last wooden lighthouse in existence on the Hudson and the only Hudson lighthouse with a clapboard exterior. It was lit in 1872. One of a group of lighthouses in the Northeast built to an award-winning design by a Vermont architect, Albert Dow, Esopus Meadows Light has sister lights at Rose Island Light, Sabin Point, Pomham Rocks, and Colchester Reef. Esopus Meadows Light was closed in 1965 and by the 1990s it had fallen into a state of disrepair. The most serious problem was the deterioration of the foundation, which had begun to fall apart due to ice damage.The Save Esopus Lighthouse Commission leased the lighthouse from the United States Coast Guard in 1990 for the purposes of restoration. They eventually took ownership in September 2002, as part of the pilot program for the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as Esopus Meadows Lighthouse. Esopus Meadows Light is shown on the NOAA Chart 12347.

Wyndcliffe is the ruin of a historic mansion near Rhinebeck in Dutchess County, New York. The records at the Library of Congress state that the brick mansion was originally named Rhinecliff and constructed in 1853 in the Norman style. The mansion was built for New York City socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones (1810-1876) as a weekend and summer residence. The design is attributed to local architect George Veitch. A master mason, John Byrd, executed the highly varied ornamental brickwork using only rectangular and few molded bricks. Writer Edith Wharton was a frequent childhood visitor; it influenced her 1929 novel Hudson River Bracketed. Wharton called the house "Rhinecliff" (after the nearby hamlet of Rhinecliff) in her 1933 memoirs A Backwards Glance; contrary to popular rumor, the hamlet was not named after the house. The phrase "keeping up with the Joneses" is thought to originate from the lavish balls that Jones threw at Wyndclyffe.In 1886, the mansion and land was sold by the executors of the will of Elizabeth S. Jones to Andrew Finck (1829-1890) for $25,000. Wyndcliffe was later known as Linden Hall or Finck Castle, for those subsequent owners. Andrew Finck was a New York City brewer whose son August Finck (1854-1905) and grandson August Finck Jr. (1879-1915) operated one of the larger breweries in New York City. A. Finck & Son's Brewery, 320-332 W. 39th St, Manhattan, NYC, produced Enterprise, a light lager beer from 1870 to 1911. Andrew Finck's nephew, John Henry Finck (1843-1881) operated a prosperous Feed and Flour business at 600 N. 11th Ave, Manhattan, NYC. Upon the death of Jacob Finck (1816-1880) (John's father/Andrew's brother), Andrew Finck, his son August Finck Sr, and grandson August Finck Jr were named executors of the Jacob Finck estate. They immediately closed the Feed and Flour business, leaving John Finck unemployed and penniless with a wife and 4 small children. Several months later, on 2 May 1881, John Finck committed suicide by hanging himself between two railroad cars.The mansion passed from Andrew to his son, August, in 1901 and then to his grandson, August Jr. Theodore Finck (1883-1923) purchased Wyndcliffe from his brother, August Jr's, estate in 1919 for $24,000. Theodore died in the mansion in 1923, identifying his daughter Anna Wolf Finck Rice (1879-1963) in his Last Will as his sole devisee. The mansion and 31.8 acres passed to Nissan S. Hanoka, Rebecca Hanoka and Mrs. Victori Hazen in 1927 for $100 plus a $5,000 mortgage. In 1934, the property was awarded back to Anna Wolf Rice for $1,117.94 at foreclosure auction, and then passed through several subsequent owners from 1936 onward. The mansion was abandoned sometime around 1950. Originally situated on 80 acres including waterfront access to the Hudson River, the property was eventually reduced to 2.5 acres. Portions of the mansion have collapsed after nearly 70 years of abandonment. In 2003 the mansion was sold and the new owner erected a security fence around the property. However the announced plans to restore the house never came to fruition. Images taken around that time showed that major sections of the second story had collapsed.In September 2016 the house was sold for $120,000 at auction. The new buyer applied for, and was granted, a permit to demolish the remaining structure but did not carry that out. The structure was again sold in 2017 to a Manhattan-based developer. In December 2022 a local news site reported that the developer had hired a structural engineer and submitted an emergency stabilization plan with Rhinebeck Planning Board.

Several renovations, including a stucco exterior, have modified the original appearance.It served as a cottage for the camp's caretaker until the early 21st century, when the land conservation organization Scenic Hudson bought the property. The house has been vacant since then. Scenic Hudson has been trying to sell or lease the house to a party interested in restoring and preserving it.
