Finlay Dam

Bring a little Newton and Wellesley home.

Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches

Give the wall beside your reading space a picture with details to notice when you look up from a page. Finlay Dam puts a river structure beneath the crossing into view, with rebuilding at the lower dam site part of its layered local story.

Newton's municipal history dates the lower dam site to 1788 and a rebuilding beneath the bridge to 1869. A 1904 state act later authorized reconstruction of Finlay Mill Dam. The view holds several layers of river engineering together, rather than representing a structure from one single construction date.

The dam's site history connects Newton and Wellesley through repeated river engineering, keeping several construction episodes behind the one view rather than claiming a single date. Frame it for a wall where you can enjoy this particular view.
