New Croton Dam, circa 1907

Here’s a nice view of the nearly-completed New Croton Dam (also known as the Cornell Dam) circa 1907. We can roughly date the image from the state of construction and the card itself because it’s an “undivided back” postcard, issued during the period from 1901 to 1907. Until 1907 only the mailing address could be written on the back of the card.

This card was published by William Terhune in “Ossining on Hudson” and printed in Germany.

Here are some other Terhune postcards:

• New Croton Dam, circa 1906
• Croton Point and Ossining, circa 1905
• Double Arches Promenade
• View from Quaker Bridge
