Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. recognized the recent Mystery Photo. “It’s Kensico Dam, located in Valhalla, N.Y. The dam is a historic masonry structure that was completed in 1917 as part of the New York City water supply system.
- The dam is 307 feet high and 1,843 feet long, and it holds back the Kensico Reservoir.
- The surrounding area, known as Kensico Dam Plaza, is a park that offers scenic areas for walking, picnicking, and other activities.
- The dam’s stone was sourced from a nearby quarry, and its construction was completed four years ahead of schedule.”
The photo came from James Lee of Duluth. Others recognizing the structure were Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Stewart Oglivie, Rehobeth, Ala.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill.
