The structure once carried the Ohio and Erie Canal across the stream. Only the stone abutments, probably sandstone, survive, and the canal bed is dry at this point. The site is rural, occupies less than an acre, and is visible from a public road. Its condition is described as poor, with decay noted. Nearby, about a quarter mile north at Everett, lies the Johnny Cake Lock. The aqueduct was part of the canal section between Akron and Cleveland, which opened on July 4, 1827. Reviewers valued the canal as important to regional development, and it has been recognized as a historic civil engineering landmark. The remains are preserved as physical evidence of the transportation system that shaped northeastern Ohio in the early nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":"1825-1827","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Only the cut stone abutments remain; the canal is dry at this point.
