EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning view of the Croton Dam in Westchester County, New York, USA, circa 1908. The photograph captures the grandeur and engineering marvel of this historic structure, which was built between 1892 and 1902 to provide clean water to the growing city of New York. Located in the picturesque village of Croton-on-Hudson, the dam stands proudly over the Hudson River, its massive stone walls and intricate ironwork a testament to the ingenuity of the past. The green grass and steps leading up to the top of the dam add a sense of tranquility and invite visitors to explore the beauty of the natural surroundings. The Croton Reservoir, which the dam regulates, was a vital source of water for the New York City water supply system, ensuring the city's residents had access to a reliable and clean water source. The dam's impressive height and the vast expanse of the reservoir create a breathtaking scene, one that has captured the imagination of visitors for over a century. As you gaze upon this image, take a moment to appreciate the engineering feat that lies before you and the important role it played in the history of New York State. This postcard from the early 1900s is not only a snapshot of a bygone era but also a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural resources and the infrastructure that supports them.
