Description
An account of the resource
CANAL PHOTOGRAPHS NOTE: Some photographs were physically labelled incorrectly as some did not count the tidal lock as “Lock #1.” These typed descriptions have been correctly labelled to account for the tidal lock as “Lock #1” as clarified by Susan Taylor, Executive Director of the Friends of the Delaware Canal (2019).
ADDITIONAL NOTE: More clarifications were provided by Martha Capwell-Fox, Historian and Archives Coordinator at the National Canal Museum (2020). These have been added as quotes to their respected photos.

Description
An account of the resource
Delaware Canal Lagoon Park. It was built about 1920 with a concrete, arched bridge connecting the island in the photograph’s center. To the right is Jefferson Avenue and former Grundy Mill (out of view). In 1997-98, the lagoon was restored, a wooden bridge replaced the deteriorating cement bridge, and landscaping was completed. The photographer would have stood on the railroad embankment adjacent to the lagoon in taking this image. A columned gazebo on the end of the island to the left is not visible and may not have been constructed when the photograph was taken.
