Y.West Hill is the name locally used for the part nearest to Elmira of agroup of hills whose three corners are Elmira to the southeast, Horseheads tothe north and Big Flats to the northwest with the Chemung River on the south.In 1852 when the Rhea & Tremble wall map of Chemung County was made, thehighest part was designated Hawes Hill. This at a later time was the site ofHarris Hill Glider Field, Harris being the name of an early settler there.West Hill is not as high as Harris Hill and overlooks Elmira rather than BigFlats and the Chemung River. In 1822 this area became part of the town ofBig Flats when that town was set off from Elmira.Jeremiah I1.owell's house on West Hill was probably built about 1825. Itwas smaller than his father's house in Hector but styled much the same, thelarger part having its gable and toward the road and a low story and half wingbuilt at right angles to the larger two story part of the house; an architecturalstyle often used at this time in central N. Y.The members of Jeremiah's family attended the Presbyterian Church inElmira. A record of the texts of sermons heard there and notations ofrelatives who visited Jeremiah Howell's hospitable home on West Hill are tobe found in a diary kept from 1849 through 1854 by Sarah a daughter who latermarried Artemus Mills of West Hill.
