A Community Newspaper and a Modern Art Collection
The Hyde Collection takes receipt of a "transformational gift."
Within six years of moving to Shenectady, N.Y. in 1956, architects Werner Feibes and James Schmitt launched a community newspaper, The Stockade Spy, and secured the state’s first-ever historic district designation, for their chosen neighborhood The Stockade. The couple married in 2013, two months before Schmitt’s death, and at this summer’s close, their very large local legacy continues to grow.
On the couple’s behalf, Feibes has donated 55 works of modern art to The Hyde Collection in Glen Falls.
