Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
I visited Sylvan Glen again in January 2021: More rocks, some more rusting machinery and this time some ruins and a stone wall in the woods.

This concrete structure is not too far from the entrance near the Cortlandt Street car park. I could find no information on its purpose. Scenes from the Trail suggests that it might have been a storage building or an ice house. Whatever its purpose might have been it doesn’t seem to have been important enough to be included on the trail map.

According to Scenes from the Trail “This is what’s left of the “Johnson House.” It was one of four houses on the estate. It is named for the Johnson family who lived in it during the time of Guillaume Reusens. Originally a two-family house, it was converted to a single family dwelling and renovated by the McAndrews family in the 1940’s.”
In the background you can just make out the retaining wall of the racetrack.
