Alcove is a hamlet in the town of Coeymans, Albany County, New York, United States. It is a prime example of a 19th-century mill town located at a rural intersection, and as such it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the Albany area as the Alcove Historic District. The city of Albany's Alcove Reservoir lies to the west of the hamlet. The history of Alcove is a history of the mills established along the Hannacroix (Haanacrois) Creek. In 1790, an early settler by the name of Casperus Ackerman established the first mill in the area. In 1844, Ephraim Andrews established the Valley Mill for carding of wool and cloth manufacturing along the Hannacroix Creek at the corners of what is now New York State Route 143 and Albany County Route 111. It would be expanded in 1848 and converted to the manufacturing of straw paper by John E. Andrews, and in 1854, in partnership with WS Briggs, improvements such as steam power were introduced. WS Briggs and Sons was formed as a partnership in control of the mills in 1871, with Briggs' son Amos D. Briggs as proprietor. This partnership would buy other local mills as well, including Ephraim Andrews'. An early name for Alcove was Stephensville, named for Archibald Stephens, who at one time owned the Andrews' mill prior to selling it to WS Briggs and Sons. When the post office was established in the hamlet in 1881, it took the name Alcove. The Valley Mill was destroyed by fire in 1892 leaving the 110-foot-tall (34 m) chimney as the only remnant. The chimney is on the National Register of Historic Places and, along with 140 acres (0.57 km2) of the hamlet, is a part of the Alcove Historic District. The district was created in 1980 and has eight contributing properties. The Alcove Preservation Association has been attempting to restore the chimney with hopes of creating a pocket park and interpretive historical center.
