Description
General Description
Presumably built to handle runoff created by the LaGarde Building (Building 56) and hardscape plaza, the area has always been low-lying and probably a natural collector of stormwater during heavy rains. A stream going through the Chapel Woods once ran south, along Arnold Drive, through the area of the current pond. However, that stream was channelized and routed just west of the stormwater management basin prior to 1914. Constructed outside the Home's period of significance, the pond is recommended as non-contributing.
