Upper Falls Panorama

coverHere’s another item from our image collection that deserved the slow-pan movie treatment - it’s a wide-angle image showing the Upper Falls and historic “lagoon”, since covered over. Lots of detail, including today’s Flour Mill (distance left), the drop-station power generator in the center of the lagoon, the town’s first waterworks plant (large water-level chute, center), and today’s Riverfront Park clock tower.
