Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. This photo is displaying Rice Lake, now more commonly referred to as Thames River, Trout Creek and the Falls.

The large arc of the dam backed up the water where both the Thames and Trout Creek met creating what resembled a small lake. Since it was H. L. Rice who was responsible for the lake, it was known and referred to as Rice Lake for sometime.

Notes

Condition: Good- the edges and corners are worn. There is a crease along the bottom right corner and two others, one near the top center of the postcard and the other towards the upper left corner. On the left side of the image there are curved lines that appear to be scratched into the postcard.
