Initially believed to be an image of canal lock #1. This was behind the former Grand Theater on Mill Street. The Delaware River is visible in the background.

From Martha Capwell-Fox, National Canal Museum: “If the photo is dated Aug. 20, 1955 that [labeling as Lock #1] cannot be accurate. For one thing, it looks very similar to the two photos we have that we know for sure were taken right after the canal closed.”

August 20, 1955
