A utility truck sits at the edge of a large mound of dirt on the opposite side of the dam. In 1933, about ten years after the Dam was completed, the city started building what was known as a “psychological dam” -- made of dirt and gravel -- on the opposite side of the reservoir in order to appease residents’ safety concerns. A similar photograph appears with the article, “Hollywood Dam backed By Barrier,” Los Angeles Times, 28 Dec 1933: A1 Text from negative sleeve: Hollywood Dam x
