The History of Kieran Gatehouse:
The Kieran Gatehouse (circa 1865), had served as the
gatehouse to the Rosenlund Estate purchased by the Marist
Brothers in 1908. This quaint cottage has remained in
constant use, first as a residence for some teaching and
working brothers and then as headquarters for the
Poughkeepsie Province of the Marist Brothers, a faculty
residence and subsequently as office space and a private
home.
In October 1990, it was dedicated to the memory of Brother
Kieran Thomas Brennan who had been the director of student
brothers from 1957-1964. A founder and longtime trustee of
Marist College (1959- 1974), he was then named a Life
Trustee. Brother Brennan died on September 5, 1989.
Brother Paul Ambrose Fontaine, the first President of Marist
College (1946-1958) lived at Kieran from 1989 to 2000.

From the beginning, Marist Heritage has been a collaborative effort.
We appreciate the contributions of the Marist Brothers and the Marists All
community, who by supplying information and personal memories, have given vitality,
scope and depth to this project
Under the guidance and direction of Dr. Brian Henry Desilets, the initial web pages
were designed and created by the following Marist College students: Michele van
Brero (Hermitage, St. Peter's, Kieran Gate House, Greystone, Marist Brothers
Builders, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel).....Tage Haun (Bech Homestead, Marian,
Donnelly).....Fang Fang Xu (Boat House, Byrne House, Kirk House).....Courtney Gutt
(Bech Family History).....Vij lyer (Cemetery).....Rahkee Chopra (Fontaine Hall).
All the final Marist Heritage web pages were either created, revised, rewritten
and/or reshaped by John Patrick Noone, who is solely responsible for any errors
contained therein.
We thank Richard Branigan for proofreading the Marist Heritage web pages.
We recognize the contributions of our consultants: John Ansley for his input on the
format and contents of the various web pages. Also Victor VanCarpels for his
frequent consultations and guidance in the graphics included in this CD. His
patience and dedication while working with us made the overall results more
professional.
We are grateful to Barbara McMullen for the use of the Ecommerce facility at Marist
College.
We are indebted to the McCann Foundation which provided the funds necessary to make
this project a reality.
