As a continuation of last week's photos,
"Early Gatun Buildings", here is a grand snap shot of the
master mind William L. Sibert's house (left) on what the photo calls
Gatun Hill. This hill must have overlooked the Gatun Locks
project. From 1907 through 1914, Sibert was a member of the Isthmian
Canal Commission and was responsible for the building of a number of
critical parts of the Panama Canal, including the Gatun Locks and
Dam, the West Breakwater in Colon, and the channel from Gatun Lake
to the Pacific Ocean. This is a grand looking house, similar
to what Goethals lived in and later moved to Ancon to become
the Canal Zone Governor's house.
More to come next week...
