THE CROTON RESERVOIR
As the Central Building of the Library stands on part of the site of the
old Croton Reservoir, it is fitting to reprint here the inscriptions on
two tablets which were formerly affixed to the Reservoir.
One tablet is now on the first floor of the Central Building, on the
wall of the south or 40th St
