Historic photo of the Miami & Erie Canal mill race next to Eggleston Avenue from the previous photo. The derelict stone wall at the center is from the abandoned factory mentioned in the previous photo. The brick bridge pier may be resting on an original abutment for the spillway of lock #5, which itself is buried under Eggleston Avenue behind the tall stone wall at the left.
From "The Miami and Erie Canal and its Relation to the City of Cincinnati" a 1911 anti-canal propaganda booklet advocating for removing the canal.
