Old landmarks:  The watercolors below portray old landmarks, no longer to be found.

The Keene Valley red barn was once located in the Adirondacks near the intersections of Routes 73 and 9N with a High Peaks backdrop.  It was built in the 1950s by Reginald Whitney and used to house cows.  In December of 2016 it was taken down by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation after being declared a hazard.

The Bush Kill pump house was once located in the Catskills in West Shokan, NY on the Bush Kill Creek, a tributary to the Ashokan Reservoir.  Hurricane Irene, an historic weather event that took its toll on the Esopus Creek river valley, carried away the old stone building.
