The Amelia Barr House, also known as Cherry Croft, is located on Mountain Road in Cornwall on Hudson,[2] a village in Orange County, New York, United States.

Barr, the most published American female writer born in the 19th century, lived here during the most prolific and successful period of her career.

Barr, an Englishwoman who came to the United States from Lancashire at the age of 19, moved to New York City in the early 1870s with her daughters from Galveston, Texas, after her husband and six of her nine children died of yellow fever.

Her novels eventually became successful enough that, in 1891, she could afford to buy the cottage, previously rented by artist Abbot Handerson Thayer.

After continuous occupation since Barr's day, in April 2006 it became vacant, and remains so, although work is actively being done on the house as of 2007[update].
