Mouth of Commercial Slip, 1922

Courtesy Ronald R. Dukarm

The Coit-McCutcheon brick warehouse, built circa 1840, had docks on both the Buffalo River and the Commercial Slip. This photo shows the construction materials of the wharf and the use of piling at the mouth of the slip. It can be considered the very point of the terminus of the Erie Canal.
