A stereo view titled: “Erie Canal — One of the Greatest Interior Waterways.” A canal barge is being towed into the Commercial Slip from the Buffalo River. The early brick Coit-McCutcheon warehouse at the mouth of the slip is visible at the right. Just beyond is the Watson Elevator with its pointed observation tower on this side of the river.
