Rankin was a merchant, and the mansion, one of the finest Greek Revival houses in the city,[3] was one of the largest residences in Brooklyn in the 1840s.[4] It is a three-story, square brick building on a stone foundation. The interior features a massive mahogany stairway with paneled wainscotting.[5]
It was designated a New York City landmark in 1970,[3] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] Currently it is the F. G. Guido Funeral Home.[2]
