Title  Fred's cabin on the ice bridge / Niagara Falls in Winter Creator  Barker, George Description  from a stereo image no. 215 by George Barker for the private collection of Thomas D. Mahoney Buffalo New York Notes  The shanties used on the ice bridge were made of a wood covered with tar paper, and they came from the Canadian side. There was a convenient road there, leading down to the water's edge, and besides, the Canadian police were more lenient. At times some enterprising individual on the U.S. side would get the idea of going into business and throw planks over the bank at the U.S. incline, planning to pick them up later and build a shack. It was a simple matter for the U.S. Police to collect the fallen timber and confiscate it, thus thwarting plans.

Title  New Fallsview Upper Suspension Bridge over the Lower Niagara River - Looking toward the US Type  Still Image Description  "This view shows the abutments built on the US shore for the new steel arch bridge. The retaining wall built to protect the north abutment from the wash of the Niagara Power tunnel is easily discernible. Notice the bare debris slope above the abutments - the foliage was all uprooted there when the huge stone for the abutments were lowered down the bank to the site. The Daily Cataract of Niagara Falls new York, September 13 1898 wrote about the construction of the abutments as follows three of the stones used in the abutment on the New York State side weighed 6 tons apiece. In lowering them over the cliff a derrick of unusual strength was called into service. The stones were dropped 60 feet to the top of a skidway of planks laid on the debris slope of the bank and lowered along this skidway to the point of work It can be seen that the new bridge will be built up under and to the south of the suspension span shown in the picture". George Seibel Notes  "this 1897 photograph was published to show the tailrace tunnel outlet from the hydraulic power house of the Dean Adams Generating Plant which was located above the American falls. The retaining wall built as part of the abutments of the new arch bridge is visible just to the right of the tailrace outflow of the Niagara Falls Power Company and the two stone abutments have already been put in place""Niagara Falls - the greatest electric and power city of the world", Niagara Falls, NY, 1897 Collection  Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation Collection Physical items  Filing No.   Format        D13247  Photograph      D13247A  Black and white photograph      71.
