"Pacific Coffer Dam, North Canal, Lawrence, MA, 1885."

The name George A. Nelson of Lowell, MA is stamped on the back. This photo looks directly at the canal which only has a small puddle of water left. You can see a sidewalk on the left side lined with trees. On the opposite side, large mill buildings line the canal. There are a variety of materials lining the fence by the mills. A few chimneys as well as peak towers can be seen. There appears to be one person facing away from the canal and towards the mill buildings.
