Mason Russ Streath, foreground, lays bricks at the site of the old Hartwick Seminary, where a monument (at right) constructed in the 1970s is being replaced by Mark Daneau’s Blue Maple Masonry, Canajoharie.  The monument is on the original site of the seminary, established in 1797, that moved to Oneonta in 1928 and became today’s Hartwick College.  Daneau, in back, said the reconstruction will be completed in the next week.  Two bronze plaques removed from the monument will be set back in the new brick structure.  the site, across Route 28 from Cooperstown Dreams Park, is owned by the college.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
