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” -- made of dirt and gravel -- on the opposite side of the reservoir in order to appease residents’ safety concerns. A different photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the article, “Hollywood Dam backed By Barrier,” Los Angeles Times, 28 Dec 1933: A1 A utility truck lowers dirt and gravel into the ravine on the opposite side of the Hollywood Dam.
