Amos Richards Eno , Antoinette's father, purchased (1822) house in Simsbury, CT built by Elisha Phelps, his father-in-law. The family had moved to New York CIty where he and his cousin opened a profitable dry goods business. Amos invested his profits in real estate. In 1856-59 he built the famous Fifth Avenue Hotel in Manhattan. The family would visit the summer house in Simsbury, CT every summer.
Antoinette came to the aid of her disgraced brother John Chester. After embezzling millions of dollars from his father's bank, John fled to Canada to avoid prosecution. His father Amos settled John's debts. in 1884 Amos moved to the Simsbury summer home. He built additions to accomodate his large family including a new wing. The house had over 30 rooms. Antoinette moved into the house to care for her father. After his death she refused to leave the home and paid her brother, Amos a life tenancy to remain in the Simsbury home. Antoinette refurbished the home and renamed it Eaglewood (patriotism and her last name). She hired Frederick Olmsted's firm known for his design of Centra Park in NY to design the landscaping. Eaglewood became a very important home in Simsbury's social society, especially during the summer. Often there were so many guests that the guest house was used. On the Fourth of July Antoinette hosted ice cream socials for the entire town with a party celebrating our country's birthday As a member of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage League she hosted regular meetings. One of her meetings was attended by Katherine Houghton Hepburn, mother of actress Katherine Hepburn.
After Antoinette's death Eaglewood passed to her brother Amos Frederick Eno. Amos Frederick gave Eaglewood to his nephew in his will and the nephew sold Eaglewood. The town of Simsbury purchased the house in 1960, by 1985 the house underwent extensive restoration inside and out. Today Eaglewood has been named Simsbury 1820 House and operates and an inn, cafe and reception hall. Amos Eno House is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places
"Nettie" gave generously, through her will, to many organizations. She also left to every Eno girl who was given the name Antoinette $25,000.
Eno Memorial Hall, a red brick, white columned Colonial Revival building which opened in 1932 was gifted to the town by Antoinette. It was given posthumously to the town by Antoinette Eno Woods in memory of her parents, Lucy Jane Phelps and Amos Richards Eno. For many years Eno Memorial Hall served Simsbury as its town hall, community center, courthouse, city hall, auditorium, government offices, town's senior center and the home of the Abigail Phelps Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for which Mrs. Wood had served as regent. Eno Memorial Hall is also listed on the U.S.National Historical Register.
