The Grove is a Federal-style country seat built around 1795 in Rhinebeck, New York, originally constructed for Philip Jeremiah Schuyler on land that had belonged to the Rutsen family. The original structure is a two-story, five-bay, center-hall design characteristic of the Federal period. Schuyler acquired mills on the property—the Rutsen family's historic grist and saw mills powered by the Landsman Kill—which he continued to operate while establishing his elegant residence. The estate subsequently evolved significantly in the nineteenth century under later owners including Mary Morton Miller. A carriage house added to the property in the 1890s was attributed to the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. The Grove was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
