| The New Croton Dam was built 1892-1906 largely by stone masons who were brought over from southern Italy without their families. Each stone weighs 2,500 - 3,500 lbs. Instead of a device designed to hold 34 billion gallons |

| As schoolboys we climbed up the spillway think of the New Croton Dam as a sculpture. |
The closer you get,
the more beautiful
it is

Great really great. The pictures brought back memories of the place, your words made me hear the water, in my heart I saw Luigi Pataloni and his brother eating their lunch of wine and stromboli's on a stone in the shade. I just channeled Sylvia Kurson for you. Love ya' too, Judy Fay
