The Lockhouse

Plaquemine Lock State Historic Site, Plaquemine, Louisiana

The lock once connected the Mississippi River with Bayou Plaquemine. It opened in 1909 and was replaced by a larger lock in 1961.

Nicely captured. I read a book once on life by a lock but it was fictional so I'm not sure how accurate it was. This must have been a pretty busy spot when it was in operation.

So well photographed! The lighting is beautiful and sets off the building so well.
