Riley Building

Built 1874

This 1874 corner building illustrates the late 19th century commercial development of the village. The Post Office was located on the first floor until 1915. Some of the other enterprises located here over the years included two Peekskill newspapers: The Daily Union and the Peekskill Blade. It was also home to the State Line Telephone Company. The Riley insurance and real estate business owned and occupied this site for many years.
