Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 3 -The Wissahickon Page 145 contains a photograph labeled "Remains of Waterworks Dam by E. A. Frey, 1907". The view in this photograph is of Lincoln Drive to the right (raised above the Creek). To the left is the Wissahickon Creek with the rocky creek bed and bank visible. The photograph contains some dark areas on the left and bottom which obscures details. The Waterworks Dam would presumably have been located on the left side of the photograph. In the left distance (barely discernable) is what appears to be a wooden footbridge over the Wissahickon (?).
