Notes
  • Significance: The Lockport Lock, Dam and Power House Historic District is significant both for its role in navigation of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Illinois Waterway and for the vertical lift lock gate at the upstream end of the lock. At the time of its construction (1922-33), the vertical lift gate was reportedly the highest of its kind in the world and may be the only one of its kind still in operation according to a 1996 inventory and 2001 National Register nomination.
