One
of Alexandrias most remarkable examples of in situ
preservation involved the restoration of the tide lock of
the Alexandria Canal in 1985. Excavated and reconstructed
by industrial archaeologist Tom Hahn and Emory Kemp, the
lock was featured in Savage/Fogarty Real Estate, Inc.s
design for their Trans-Potomac Canal Center development.
Today, the original Tide Lock No. 4 is protected beneath
an accurate reconstruction.
