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.[citation needed]
