The Lock House (1840) was used as an office to
collect tolls for boats headed upstream and to house the locktender and his family.
Since the river was not navigable north of the Lock House, the canal ran 45 miles to
Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. The oulet to the river is directly in front of the Lock House.
