Harvey Gridley Eastman 6
Less successful was Harvey's creation of Eastman Park, modeled on Washington Square in New York City. The row of houses has been refurbished recently. Houses were not built on the other three sides of the park. However, Garfield Place, overlooking the park still is the site of many elegant houses. Harvey had another dream: a railroad bridge across the Hudson River. While a member of the New York State Assembly he sponsored a bill to authorize the construction for such a bridge. In 1873, he had an ceremony to lay the cornerstone for the eastern tower along the Hudson. The bridge did not become a reality until thirteen years after his untimely death. -

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. -
