DescriptionSt. Francis Dam base remains tkksummers.jpg
This photograph shows the remains of the base of the
St. Francis Dam. After its collapse in 1928 the remaining blocks, including what had been the the large center section which had remained standing, were blasted and jack hammered. This was done in order to discourage sightseers and to avoid additional accidents after a teen fell to his death after ascending the remaining standing block of the concrete dam. Nevertheless, some of the steps that defined the face of the curved concrete gravity dam are visible in the foreground of these remains. This image differs from the original digital photograph; the contrast and color saturation have been modestly enhanced.
Note: It would be interesting to learn from someone who knows whether or not the foreground piece that shows the steps is the remains of the block that remained standing after the collapse.
