Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Access to this collection is generously supported by Haynes Foundation funds. In 1933, about ten years after the Dam was completed, the city started building what was known as a “psychological dam” on the opposite side of the reservoir in order to appease residents’ safety concerns. A utility truck sits at the edge of a large mound of dirt on the opposite side of the dam. This photograph appears with the article, “Hollywood Dam backed By Barrier,” Los Angeles Times, 28 Dec 1933: A1 Text from newspaper caption: [above:] Reservoir Being Buttressed by Earth and Rock Fill [below:] Hollywood Dam as It Appears Today Text from negative sleeve: Hollywood Dam x
