water tower. I must have passed by "my" tower 1,000 times - but never really
thought about it. Marc put a number of my train-related photos of the old
Delaware and Hudson complex in Rouses Point, NY on his site. If you put
"roundhouse" in his search box, you will see them. We do have an intact water
tower in Rouses Point, but I never thought to include it with the other photos.
As of this moment, I don't think anyone has made an effort to maintain it. It
looks rather rickety compared to yours." The pics of the Rouses Point
water tower are on this page.

making it easier to move it when it was full. Water is 8.4 pounds per gallon!"

Joe G writes "That is
property of my uncle Gene. Right across the street was his house which may not
be there. I have a lot of childhood memories there. Emery Road was very special
for me. First time to drive a car, tractor, go carts, and a three wheeler. I
could tell a million stories but I will leave it at that."
kodi delong writes "I
have lived on the Emery rd for all of my life, my grand father used to go on the
road to cut trees for the saw mill 'Dupreys saw mill' I have walked past those
buildings so many times, and yes the house is still there, Carol is now living
in it."

Joe G writes "Hello,
that is my uncle Gene's land with the tool sheds on the property. To the left
would be his house which is white. In back of the photo is a river leading to
the great Chazy River. I haven't seen these buildings in 30 years. I plan to
visit these sites in a couple of weeks, also my uncle genes grave."

hand pump (in the second photo above) and right behind the pump the ladder,
which doesn't look too sturdy. Also notice in the interior shot (the
last photo) the ladder is made of pipe.

looks to me like a milk house the concrete tank looks like a tank used to
keep full milk cans cold with water and ice. Looks like the top on the floor
in front of the tank."
