It retains a high degree of integrity, including original sash, doors, flooring and stairs. It was built as a farmhouse that also took in summer guests, and was later run as Angola Lodge.","narrative":"Built in 1869 on Angola Road in Cornwall, New York, this two-and-one-half-story frame house was designed and built by Mead and Taft for Patrick Pigott and his wife Ellen. Its shingled walls, crossed-gable roof, centered gable dormer and octagonal gable window reflect Queen Anne influence, while a Colonial Revival porch with Doric columns and a glazed upper porch were added during 1916 alterations. Inside, a center stair hall divides four main rooms on each floor, and original wood floors, plaster walls, trim and five-panel doors survive. The house served both a farming family and summer visitors, who enjoyed its lawns, views and cross ventilation. Later it operated as Angola Lodge in the 1930s and 1940s. The grounds also hold an early twentieth-century well, a wood shed and a stone spring house. It was listed for its architecture and its link to Cornwall's summer boarding trade. Pigott's son Stephen later became a shipbuilding executive in Scotland and was knighted.","period_of_significance":"1869-1948","architect_builder":"Mead and Taft, architect and builders","architectural_style":"Late Victorian/Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a single dwelling; the form says the house retains a high degree of architectural integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.655741-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98001115.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001115/201f7284f8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001115/201f7284f8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Daniel Case","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrick_Piggot_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Case</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patrick_Piggot_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75314173","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Piggot_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14707162"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/orange-county/piggot-patrick-house-98001115/"}
