A structure at the lock which houses, I believe, the machinery and electrical systems for the lock. I can't be sure since the public isn't allowed in that area.

Note the water flowing over the dam just the other side of the building, and the power plant on the other bank.

The lock itself, although I suspect that might be a bit obvious...

And lastly, looking across the Mohawk back to the power plant from the lock's concrete approach jetty.

The last four pictures I took while riding my bike home from work one evening.
