Erie Canal Lock 52 Complex
Erie Canal Lock 52 Complex, Lock and historic district in Port Byron, New York.
The Erie Canal Lock 52 Complex encompasses two main buildings, including the Erie House hotel and a blacksmith shop with mule barn, alongside three engineering structures.
The lock was constructed between 1849 and 1853 as part of the Enlarged Erie Canal program and remained operational until the canal rerouting in 1917.
The complex stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering, featuring Italianate architectural elements in its design by Joseph M. Kasson and other builders.
Visitors can access the 3.4-acre complex through local streets or from a rest area on the eastbound side of the New York State Thruway.
The Erie House, built in 1894, maintains its original two-story frame structure that functioned as both a saloon and hotel for canal travelers.
