Notes |
The Erie Canal catalyzed commerce, industry, and population growth in Cohoes, as it did in places all along its path. Although little survives of Locks 37 and 38, portions now serve as foundations for a row of industrial buildings that demonstrate Cohoes' expansion as a mill town through the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Largely functional and quotidian, these buildings and the canal beneath them were modified as needed over time to maintain their usefulness, and the resulting site is an accretion at the center of a larger manufacturing complex where the paths of a few leading nineteenth-century engineers and capitalists crossed those of thousands of predominately young immigrant mill workers. The power-canal system was abandoned after 1915 and the adjacent mills closed in the 1930s. Today, the remains of Locks 37 and 38 and the building above them lie within the Harmony Mill Historic District, created in 1987, and the Harmony Mills National Historic Landmark District, designated in 1999.
