Wish this was better preserved and cared for, but at least it’s still standing.

Many parts are falling down and we opted to appreciate from a little distance for safety reasons.

It was constructed right into this rocky terrain at the base of the mountain and makes one wonder how such construction was done so well back then without modern construction tools and equipment.

Be careful of the traffic coming around the blind turn close by, some are traveling fast & looking at their phone while driving - and do not even look for tourists here!

From Harpers Ferry you have to do some climbing to actually go inside. It's worth the walk/climb.

Although the Lockhouse has lost its roof it is still nice to see the lay of the land as you can imagine what it looked like before the road...

Spooky old house. The available evidence by way of Park research suggests that this building may have been the Superintendent's house -- the Superintendent of the Canal for this region. This house was furthermore not the so-called "Salty Dog Saloon," which was adjacent to the left-hand side. There is some evidence of an actual lockhouse nearer to the lock. The National Park Service -- either one or both of the five national historical parks here (HAFE or CHOH) -- has the say with what can get done with this house. My vote is for restoration with a new allocation of funds! Can you guess the remaining three national parks in Harpers Ferry?

Looks spooky on the side of the ridge
