Water Treatment Facility 6

Water Treatment Facility 5
This structure with the red tile roof dated back to the original installation of 1872. It sat between the sedimentation basin (open to the sky) and the sand filters (housed in concrete vaults). After acquisition by Marist College, it was used by the maintenance staff until the maintenance operation was transferred to the East-of-nine campus. -
Water Treatment Facility 4
The layout of the original water treatment plant. The intake building remains in Longview Park. The sand filters were located in cavernous cement vaults which now support student parking. The sedimentation basin (upper right of diagram) was acquired by the college in 1973 and became the site of five tennis courts. The long narrow building between the sand filters and settling basin came to Marist when the land was exchanged for land ceded to the city in 1974 at the south end of campus for a sewage treatment facility. -
Water Treatment Facility 3
Plaque of unknown date on a wall within the water treatment facility commemorates original construction. James H Weeks was involved in sales to and purchases from Edward and Elizabeth McCarty Bech. His monument in Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery is near that of the Bechs. -

Dobo Seal Plaque
A seal is balanced at the top of a rock, the head lifted and the lithe body bent backward in a series of flowing curves. The hind flippers cling to the rock while the front flippers brace the body. In the modeling are preserved all the elasticity and fluid motion of the creature. The example in the Metropolitan Museum is dated 1927. This statue was awarded the Speyer Prize at the National Academy of Design exhibition in 1929. (Excerpt from Brookgreen Gardens catalog) -
