This collection consists of photographs depicting Hales Bar Dam in Guild (Haletown), Marion County, Tennessee, during construction. Some photographs are dated, all between 1910 and 1912. Images show construction, waterviews, electric cableway, and men who worked on the project.

Most names are included on the back of the photographs of individuals. One wide postcard labeled “East Side Camp March 1912” depicts the workers’ camp and labels the buildings with a handwritten number key. Others include brief descriptions of the photograph’s content.
