• Marist Hall Windmill

• 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.

• 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.

As I remember we spent late August and early September before school started helping John ready the house for sale. Our tasks consisted of putting up acoustical ceilings, some tiling, painting, etc" The building was sold to Donald Price and remains occupied in 2011.

• President's Home at 165 Academy Street

  Marist College purchased this house for the President and his family in 1980. The lot had been purchased as lot #31 by the Peelor family from Daniel Wilbur who created the Garden Park Development in 1926 and the house was probably constructed soon afterwards. Later in 1940 the Peelors purchased adjacent lot #30. The building faces Academy Street, but is not very visible from the street. It lies behind 2 Eden Terrace, and vehicle access is by a driveway beyond 2 Eden Terrace, which shield grants privacy to the occupants. The Murray family hosts college related functions at the house, one of which is a reception for the women's basketball team when it wins the MAAC league championship.
  

• 2 Eden Terrace - side view

  2 Eden Terrace was sold in 1984 by the Marist Brothers to Anthony and Ruth Cenera (1984 liber 1644 page 165). Anthony Cenera had been hired as the Vice President of Marist. In 1988 he accepted the position of President of Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport CT, and sold the building to the College (1988 liber 1807 page 374). The College then sold the parcel to Paul and Sarah Browne (1989 liber 1839 page 332). Paul had taken the position of Vice President for Development.
