Unrau HD. 1978. The Lockhouses - Historical Data, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Historic Structure Report. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Historic Preservation Team. Denver, Colorado

This report has been prepared to satisfy in part the research needs for the restoration and preservation of the lockhouses on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Previous to this report, numerous studies have been made on various individual lockhouses. The purpose of this present study is to expand on these reports and broaden their scope by including all available documentary information on the lockhouses in one document. Since this historic structure report encompasses all of the lockhouses along the entire length of the waterway, an effort has been made to deal with their general specifications while pointing out significant variations in their design.
