Powerhouse No. 2
St. Francis Dam

[Return to Series Index][Next Image]

Power House No. 2, just below the doomed St. Francis Dam, as it appeared in January 1928, two months before the disaster. The 41,800-hp power plant was located six miles below Power House No. 1 (which survived, since it was above the dam).
