Pick: Former ferry landing, 818 S. Water St.
“In the parking lot by the Hot Water club sits a small building that was once the terminal for a ferry to jobs on Jones Island, a service that stopped in the late 1970s.”

Pick: Locust Street Bridge
“Two hidden landmarks are visible from the Locust Street Bridge: To the north is the still-functioning Riverside Pumping Station, a 1924 brick structure built to meet the water needs of a growing city, and to the south are the riverside ruins of the Gordon Park bathhouse.”
