Wagener Dam and homestead ca. 1900

Description
-
View of Wagener Dam and home from across the stream. Dam is no longer present. There were apparently two dams at this bend in the stream - it is not clear which one is pictured. The Rinek rope factory building in the background is still present on Bushkill Drive. The Wagener Dam and property along the stream was purchased by Lafayette College in 1929 with the idea of generating hydroelectric power (Gendebien report).
