This is a nice contribution by GoDCer Allan. Below is a shot of the C&O Canal, taken by Mathew Brady, taken in 1860.

My guess is that it was taken from right about here: http://goo.gl/maps/ax8IP
You can see the Foxhall Foundry just on the other side of the Canal on the left.
What is Foxhall Foundry exactly? Not familiar with the building or history. At first glance, I thought that building was the Abner Cloud house (although it wasn’t likely painted white as it is today). So, the bridge in the background would be Aqueduct Bridge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueduct_Bridge_%28Potomac_River%29
