Passing by and spotted this beautiful structure that needed to be checked out. It is just off US 9W and not far from Palisades Interstate Park.
The historical marker in front reads, "Made of local blue stone, dedicated on August 17, 1871. Resting at the summit of the Palisades on the historic Closter Dock Road and Old Dock Road. Designed by renowned Architect J. Cleveland Cady. Fisherman, quarrymen, laborers and local business people contributed to its construction. For generations it has been a focal point of Alpine."
It is worth stopping by to admire, especially when the sun hits it right.
