Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 5 -The Wissahickon Page 83 contains a photograph with a typed label which reads "Gorgas Dam from an old photograph". The photograph is not in clear focus; however, the Wissahickon creek can be seen cascading over what appears to be a stone wall into the creek bed below. A stone block and a small portion of what may be a stone balustrade appear to the left. In the distance, a canopy of trees and vegetation line both banks of the creek.
