Marist Brothers in Esopus: The Dairy Farm and Horse Barn Footprints

Item

Description

The photos at the left seem to have been taken when the farm was operational. The L-shaped structure at the right was the horse barn. The smaller rectangular building at left was the dairy barn. Note the circle representing the silo. The smaller attached rectangle was a cooler room to store the milk. The rectangular outline at the lower left was the dairyman's house. The smallest rectangle at the far left was a two story building. The lower story contained equipment to pump water from the adjacent Black Creek. The upper floor was for storage.

The chicken area and farm superintendent's house was south of this group, (off the bottom of the photo.)
