Soft Maple - the construction:

These pictures are from the files of Perry Nagle, an engineer working for the American Manganese Steel Company in Chicago Heights, IL, a division of American Brake Shoe Corporation which made dredge pumps of the type used on this project.  Mr. Nagle may have been here as part of the crew that made this project possible.  These photos, taken by Severance Photos in 1924-5, were made available  by Mr. Nagle's son, Jim Nagle.
