The Odell House is a historic home located at Greenburgh, Westchester County, New York. The farm served as the headquarters of Count de Rochambeau and campsite for the French expeditionary forces under his command during the American Revolutionary War, from July 6 to August 18, 1781.

Description and history

The house consists of a 1+1⁄2-story central section erected in 1732, with flanking wings. The east wing was built in 1765 as a 1+1⁄2-story structure and raised to a full two stories in 1785. The central section and east wing are of wood-frame construction, covered with cedar shingles, and rest on a fieldstone foundation. The two-story stone west wing was built between 1853 and 1855. The house features three divided Dutch doors. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1]

In 2020, the house was deeded to the Town of Greenburgh, NY. The Friends of Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters (www.odellrochambeau.org) are working with the town to restore the property and create a museum. Construction began in March 2021 and is expected to last two years.^[2]
