Catskill history:
Below are two watercolors of Catskill historic places.
The Ashokan Reservoir Diving Weir consists of fifteen
arches, under Reservoir Road, that separate the West and East Basins of New
York City’s oldest Catskill reservoir.
Construction as originally competed in 1915, but it has been extensively
restored since then.
Ashokan Weir (Sold):
The second painting is a winter scene of a 119 foot
single span Town Lattice truss covered bridge, which is found over the
Neversink River near Hunter Road.
Construction was completed in 1912 by David Benton, John Knight, and
George Horbeck and it remains a symbol of the Catskill Mountains dating back to
the early settlers of the upper Neversink river valley. The watercolor below appeared in the January 2021 Gazette, newsletter of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
