Town of Angelica
Allegany County, NY
Baroness Anne-Marguerite-Henriette Hyde de Neuville c.1779-1849, painted this watercolor attributed to 1808 which belongs to the New York Historical Society. It is
written that she was a friend of the widow of Hubert D’Autremont, Countess Marie and could well have visited Allegany county, NY. If she painted at Angelica, Could this house be the
famed "white house" built by the Church family, the white framed house that preceded the Belvidere Villa?
This watercolor and many others can be viewed online at the NY Historical Society website "e-museum" at the following address:

Curatorial Remarks:
A charming view of a farmhouse and adjacent buildings near a stream. It may represent a scene at Angelica in Allegany County (or Newark Valley near Owego in Tioga County, New York).

Photo by Richard Palmer (2005) The above building picture appeared for a month on the
home page of this website with a request for someone to submit a story
of the history. It is a unique little building and should be
identified with proper dedication. As of date nobody from the Angelica area has taken enough
interest to document the building. The photo was submitted by a viewer from Syracuse.
The following was received from a friend in Andover: "In 1971 the Angelica Booster purchased the "The Little
Building" and started restoring it. They finished it in 1972. It was
previously used as a shop, telephone exchange, law office and a real
estate office. " If you can supply a more complete historical story about
the building, email it to: Ron
Taylor, Webmaster, and it will be published to accompany this
picture.
