On Friday, September 18, Doyle Middle School hosted its annual block party event for the Troy community. This year’s event kicked off with a special ceremony to honor Rensselaer alumnus Garnet Douglass Baltimore. A distinguished civil engineer and landscape designer, Baltimore was the first African American to earn a bachelor’s degree from Rensselaer. A civil engineer from the Rensselaer Class of 1881, Baltimore designed and engineered Troy’s Prospect Park, which offered a 25-mile view of the Hudson Valley. Today, more than a century after its conception, Prospect Park continues to be an important local landmark that is popular with members of the Troy community. |
