Just Looking Around RUNDSCHAUER'S quotations from El- kanah Watson's impressions of Cayuga Lake in 1791 brought a tip from the erudite Judge Cuthbert W. Pound '87. De Witt Clinton week-ended here in 1810, while making a reconnaissance for his proposed canal. At the time Ithaca con- sisted of a post office, two taverns, stores, tannery, mills, and near fifty houses. The situation of this place must render it a place of great importance." "The cucumber and coffee-trees, and plenty of pitchpine, grow in the adjacent county." What has happened to our cucumber and coffee-trees? Simeon De Witt, the Surveyor-General of the State, "has selected a beautiful and very elevated spot, on the east hill, for a house, on which there is a grove of the white pine, from which you have a grand view of the lake and country. On the north of this mount, you see below you a precipice of 100 feet, at the foot of which there passes through the fissures of the rock a considerable stream. The remains of the first mill in this country are there visible. It is not much larger than a large hog-pen." The site was on the south side of Cascadilla gorge, just below Stewart Avenue; but Simeon De Witt never built the house. They could certainly carry it in those days.
