When the Collegiate School was built in 1836 at the summit, the wooded western slope leading down to North Clinton Street was maintained as a wooded grove, called College Grove. It was the site of many public speaking events, including Frederick Douglass in August 1858. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6116805ee714b90cbd7a863a/1628902311961-X766LS8GV405B79DCKUZ/DCHS+Poughkeepsie+Reservoir+1891+02.jpg Revive College Hill Park Coalition - Water.

These include an open air reservoir from 1872, an underground reservoir from the 1920s, and contemporary water tanks built discretely into the hillside, all of which remain today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6116805ee714b90cbd7a863a/1628895512255-13RPLSLKONKIKXAIJ73S/RCHPC+Collegiate+School+1836.jpg Revive College Hill Park Coalition - Why “College Hill?” The influential and well-funded “Improvement Party” that included Matthew Vassar, lured Charles Bartlett to Poughkeepsie with the promise of building what turned out to be a Hudson Valley Greek Revival landmark from its 1836 inception, until a fire destroyed it in 1917. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6116805ee714b90cbd7a863a/1631120068449-44UNF7M307G1GUKPTCPL/Whinfield+College+Hill+001.jpg Revive College Hill Park Coalition - Historic Plans
