Historic photo of 5th and Lock Streets at the base of the Mt. Adams Incline. The horse and carriage is on Eggleston at the very very bottom. The wood bridge traversing what little is left of the long-abandoned Miami & Erie Canal at this location. While the rest of the canal remained navigable into the 20th century, the run from Broadway, at what would later become the Hamilton County Justice Center and the Casino, and the Ohio River required a 100' drop and ten locks. Since canal boats couldn't navigate the Ohio River anyway, this segment of the canal had been little used and it was formally abandoned in 1863. The locks were buried under Eggleston Avenue, but a mill race was left on the east side of the street to provide water power to the factories along the way.
