Description
Photograph of an exterior view of a water power plant on big creek, ca.1930. To the left of center, a tall building stands at the bottom of a mountain with long windows covering its sides. Water pours out of two rectangular holes at the bottom of the building. The water flows into the creek in front of it. To the right, tall coniferous trees are visible in the foreground while a mountainside covered in trees can be seen behind the building on the left. The dome shaped peak of a mountain on the left contains no plant life.
