A Brief Visit

The Pawtucket Gatehouse

Simple long red brick single story gatehouse

The Pawtucket Gatehouse, overlooking Pawtucket Dam, is the largest gatehouse on the canal system. Completed in 1848, the gatehouse controls the flow of water into the Northern Canal and the mills beyond. The Northern Canal completed the city's 5.6 mile canal system, which is still being used today.
