Description
Photograph of a view of an unidentified dam, ca.1930. To the right of center, the curved wall of a concrete dam sits between two jagged hillsides. At the bottom of the dam, a rectangular building comes out of the hillside and meets the water. The water in the foreground ripples with motion while a torrent of water seems to come out of a rectangular structure on the left. Transmission towers can be seen on top of the hillside.
