The black rectangle near the center of the photograph is the heated pool. You can also see the Glenhill Farmhouse and the Carriage House. It's amazing how much property Behrend now owns in Harborcreek Township. Check out a Google Earth view of Behrend to see how this sliver fits into the big picture. The campus is bordered by I-90, Route 290 (the Eastside Bayfront Connector) and Route 430.

Great picture, Debbi! I have a question for you. Right on "old" Station Rd. in front of the new Lacrosse stadium, is a very old two-story house that someone restored about the time the connector was being built. Nothing has been done with it since. Just curious, but what's the story?
