Rural Residence, a beautifully curated shop on the main drag, Warren Street. It has an historic sensibility and the antique finds reflect a love and appreciation for what came before, while celebrating the best in new design.
As the president of Historic Hudson, proprietor Timothy Dunleavy champions preservation and keeping the beautiful monuments of the past alive.
The shop mixes American heritage, history and items to make rural life prettier and city life more bucolic. It is like stepping back in time.
New and classic design books sit on a table at the front of the store, where book signings are often held.
Nautical tabletop and pewter flatware make a nice moment.
