Excerpt from Outline Report of Architectural Work on the Restoration of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal for Recreational Use (Georgetown, D. C., To Seneca, MD) The restoration of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal for use as a recreational waterway presents a problem with a number of interesting elements. The Canal structures themselves are of a type, architecturally and structurally, so characteristic of their time that they have been taken as a guide in all the restoration work. In addition to such material evidence, there are also available, from the records obtained from the Canal Company when the property was acquired by the Government, the original specifications of 1828 that governed the design of the lock tenders' houses in the beginning. The historical interest in the Canal is so great that it seems justifiable to outline its major elements here. One of them lies in the fact that the C 0 Canal is a direct successor to the Canal of the Potomac Company. That waterway was surveyed, at least in part, by George Washington and was built, it seems clear, largely as a result of his personal efforts. It is pertinent to note that his interest in this matter became acute when he acquired, by grant from Virginia in recognition of his services to the colony in the French and Indian Wars, 1745 55, a large tract of land in the region of the Potomac headwaters. His shrewd mind at once perceived the importance of transportation between Western areas and tidewater, and there followed his suggestion of the canalization of the Potomac River. The actual work began in 1785, as soon as Opportunity offered after the end of the Revolutionary War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
