Holy Trinity Elementary School
In the late 1950s, Monsignor Gregg, pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Arlington, Poughkeepsie NY asked the Brothers to staff the upper grades of the elementary school in the parish.

St. Peter Medallion
Saint Peter's Church was the first Catholic church built within the city of Poughkeepsie. Many of the workers who built the railroad along the Hudson River were Irish immigrants. The church was built close to the river. When a later wave of immigrants came from Italy, a second church was built around the corner and named Mt Carmel. -
Saint Peter's Church
The Marist campus was in the ecclesiastic territory of Saint Peter parish until Saint Peter's parish relocated in early 1960s to Hyde Park, with its building taken over by Mount Carmel Parish. Currently (2011) the Marist campus lies within Mount Carmel Parish. -

Poughkeepsie High School
When the seating at that gym became inadequate, some games were played at the newer Poughkeepsie High School gym. This arrangement lasted until the opening of the McCann Athletic Center in 1976. -
Our Lady of Lourdes High School (former)
The Archdiocese of New York established Our Lady of Lourdes High School in the 1950s in the old Poughkeepsie High School building facing North Hamilton Street. When Marist College instituted intercollegiate basketball, the gym on campus was too small for both spectators and competitors. -

A view of the area containing the gym, Scholasticate, and Greystone buildings. The Scholasticate was a wooden structure which was used initially as a classroom building. Later the top floor was expanded to serve as a Physics Lab and classroom. The middle floor was used as a study hall and classroom, and the ground floor was a chemistry lab. The back of the building housed administrative offices and a typing room. At the time frame depicted here, Greystone housed the library. -
Marian 7
Aerial view of the Marian Building. This is the 'old gym' modified. A second floor, which covered the wings and the gym floor, was added to make a dormitory. It is presently being used as a dormitory. After the McCann Athletic center was complete in 1977, this gymnasium was converted to student housing. Paul Canin, the architect who designed Leo and Champagnat dormitories designed the conversion, leaving the peaked roof of the main gym room and adding a second story to each of the annexes. The photo was taken from one of the upper floors of the Champagnat dormitory. -

Both of these photos show St. Peter's on the day of dedication of the Fontaine building by Cardinal Spellman -
Marist Hall Windmill
I think this was a windmill, but it may have been only a lookout tower. It is illustrative of the original Fahnestock architecture which was planned near the end of the Gilded Age around 1900. -
Marist Hall Entry Road
The imposing entry road was developed in the Fahnestock era and constituted the first view of the estate for visitors to Marist Hall. -
St. Peters 1
Side view of St. Peter's showing the additions built on the front and back of the building. The front addition was used as a sitting room and an office for Brother Nilus while he was supervising the building of Donnelly Hall. The rear addition contained bedrooms for the college faculty, farmers and printer. -
Marist Hall, Cold Spring NY
This building was the original Fahnestock estate building. It was incorporated into the plan for Marist Hall, but supplemented with a separate structure to provide gymnasium and additional classrooms. -
Homes along Dwight Street
this parcel on a one block street between South Hamilton and Hooker Avenues the city of Poughkeepsie served as Richard and Mary Foy's house from 1972 until early 1980. The Foys purchased the parcel (1972 liber1336 page 372) but the college held the mortgage. -
Marian - recreation bungalow
Bungalows which were located where the present Marian Building is now. These bungalows were used for recreation for the student brothers. They were also used as large assembly halls during retreats or other large gatherings. They were destroyed when it was decided to build the gym. -
Residence Inn by Marriott - Route 9 near shopping plazas.
In the final decade of the 1900s and even to 2011, the college was oversubscribed for new resident students. This was the result of heightened popularity of on campus housing and the uncertainty as to how many students the college accepted would actually attend. The college made arrangements to rent blocks of rooms at the Residence Inn, located near IBM main building, just behind the plaza with Pier One. -
Canterbury Gardens Apartments
For several years in the 1960-1970 time period, the overflow of Marist College students was housed at the Canterbury Gardens Apartments, located along route 44, across the street from Adams Fairacre Farms. The arrangement was convenient because the complex had about twenty separate buildings; Marist could rent several for exclusive use by students. The arrangement was inconvenient because the apartments were located east of the City of Poughkeepsie, which required time lost in transportation to and from the main campus. -

Talmadge Court - student housing
This is a view from within the Talmadge Court parking area looking towards Talmadge Street. Marist College purchased the apartment group in 1996 (liber 1980 page 131) and renovated the buildings, replacing the roofs and siding above the brick work. There is a small grassy area beyond the cinder block wall at the extreme right stretching to Talmadge Street. -
Marian 2
A winter view of the gym while it was still under construction. This side of the gym building housed garages and the laundry. A blizzard struck the area around Christmas 1947. The photo below shows the still incomplete building, with no doors for the three auto garage. A changing room was beyond the garage. The windows in the annex at the left would become a laundry servicing the novitiate, scholasticate, working brothers, retired brothers, and the juniorate then located in Esopus. The main gymnasium was in use during the winter of 1947-1948, but the only heat was provided by a pot-belly stove at the far corner of the open area. Water and heat were installed during the summer of 1948. The floor was concrete until the spring of 1950 when a wood floor was installed. -

Fairview property donated by Leonidoff
Alex Leonidoff donated a parcel in Fairview directly east of the George Bennett estate. Richard and Mary Foy considered the site as a president's house in 1971 but decided to purchase the house at 12 Dwight Street instead. -
Leonidoff Home 80 South Hamilton Street
When Doctor Leonidoff died, he willed his house on South Hamilton Street to Marist College to support studies in the Russian Language. The house was later sold and proceeds added to a fund to further studies of Russian. This is simply enough text to match the thumbnail for the house at 60 south goes and goes and goes.
