postcards of the Hudson Valley, including many from Rockland County.

For general interest, there are a number of pictures of Nyack, Rockland
Lake, (and West Point, which is in Orange County)

Rockland State Hospital, which had its own Branch off the Piermont:

The Hospital Branch ran in from the fright of the picture, to the area where
the two chimneys are, to bring in coal and supplies.  Much of this picture
still looks the same, but for how much longer, nobody can say, since a lot
of the land was recently sold off to Orangetown.
