Some remnants of the Erie Canal survived for some time after being abandoned, but later succumbed to commercial growth, road, building, etc.
Enlarged Erie Canal Lock No. 44 was located in Ilion, Herkimer County, N.Y. In May 1936, it was photographed in the process of being dismantled. The photographer was Walter H. Cassebeer, who photographed the process for the Historic American Buildings Survey.
