Additional Description: The lock was completed in 1833. The lock itself was constructed from stone hauled over the Potomac from Virginia (flint and granite). The white house is known as Spencer's Store or Elgin House. An adjacent structure, known as the Salty Dog Saloon, which no longer stands, was widely known through the 1930s for serving the less savory flavors.
