What a great series of posts/pictures/maps! Nick the map you made with the sliders is a treasure! It ought to be prominently displayed on your web page for all to enjoy. I always wondered where exactly those “ancient” roadways went and now I know. It is a gem.
BTW, I might be one of the oldest and long tenured member of the KHS as I, and two friends, joined in 1956 when we were students at PS 95. Revered Tieck welcomed us in. Somehow he arranged for us to talk on NYC school radio, WNYE, about the society and a then current exhibit of before and after pictures arranged by Lou Garbus.
What an interesting discussion. I really appreciate the red notes and arrows on the first map. I wonder if that could be done on the submitted maps as I need help with the orientation. Thanks.
This was interesting to read. Where was Mosholu Hall? I wonder why they did not want to remain in Yonkers but then affiliated with NYC.
I don’t remember this building but it must have been part of the Seton complex. I remember wandering around in the empty hospital before it was demolished.
These pictures remind me that as a teenager in the late 1950s I remember finding a bone that was encased in rock? dried mud? south of the Van Cortlandt Putnam RR station and thought I had found some prehistoric creature. My high school biology teacher looked at it and said it was likely a chicken bone thus ending my career as a paleontologist. It was likely part of the garbage dump you describe.
