Collection consists of a photo album documenting the construction of the Nolichucky Dam in Greeneville, Tenn., in 1913. The album consists of a series of 125 photographs documenting the dam's construction over the period of seven months. Each photo is dated; many have captions. The album begins with the flood on the River, March 1, 1913, and ends with a staff picnic on September 9th. All stages of dam construction are presented in the album: coffer dams, foreboys, penstocks, forms, and construction of the power house.

In addition to the documentation of the construction of Nolichucky Dam, the album contains 46 photos documenting the construction of a concrete reservoir, done by the Boston firm A. G. Tomasello & Son, for the Salem, Massachusetts waterworks in 1915.
