The Prospect Elementary School, Pickett Street at the corner of Odell Avenue. The school has been demolished.
Prospect House, so named for its location at 3508 Prospect Street, has a storied history. It was built in 1788 by James Lingan and designed by William Thornton, the architect of the United States Capitol. President John Adams visited the residence and the Marquis de Lafayette was a house guest. While Blair House was under renovation, Prospect House served as its replacement. Notable previous owners include Secretary of Defense James Forrestal and Congressman Richard Thurmond Chatham.
The Prospect Mountain shuttle, called the Viewmobile, brings tourists who do not wish to hike the last few hundred feet to the summit. From there you have views of Lake George, New York, vistas of the Adirondack High Peaks (seen in the background of this photo) and even nearby states.
This is one of two photos of mine chosen by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's bi-monthly magazine, The Conservationist, for an article on Prospect Mountain in their October 2010 issue. This is the first time I have had photos published in a regional magazine.

Prospect is a little town in the southeast edge of the Adirondacks, just outside the park. It used to have two spurs, one on the north and the other on the south. The south spur had just one south-facing switch. The north one connected here at Prospect Junction, and had two switches, so it was connected in a wye.
On the left side of the photo is the main line of the Adirondack Branch. On the center and right side is the railbed of the Hinckley Reservoir branch.

Prospect Harbor Light is mostly owned by the US Navy and is closed to the public. I was watched closely as I walked across the rocks to position myself for this shot.
