The third photograph shows an eastward view along the top of the Cohoes Company Dam above the falls. The solid stone masonry dam was built in 1865–1866 under the supervision New York engineer William E. Worthen, its purpose to divert water to generate power for the city’s mills. A large mill and other buildings can be seen at the east end of the dam.
