Background Albert O. Whittemore, Havana N.Y.

In the years just after the Civil War, Albert O. Whittemore bought the kiln in Havana N.Y. in 1862 after the pottery had burned and H. M. Whitman was forced out of business. Whittemore was an astute businessman, who had moved to Havana from Queens County N.Y. and rebuilt the pottery and began making stoneware there. The pottery was known as Schuyler Stoneware Works as it resided in Schuyler County. Havana which is now called Montour Falls, once an Indian trading post, is not far from the county seat, Watkins Glen. Just a beautiful and historical part of New York State, Schuyler County is one of the least populated and unspoiled places to visit in N.Y.

A.O. Whittemore was an entrepreneur and not only owned the pottery but also owned an iron foundry, a second kiln in Elmira and a working farm.
