Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. General view of spillway and powerhouse. The latter encloses three units, is intended to extend eventually to a fourth. Note one of two traveling gantry cranes on spillway deck. Main generator hall built in brick because it is in flood-proof portion; downstream bay which houses control equipment in lower stories and offices above is in concrete on account of flood hazard

Pickwick Dam. Downstream view of first two units of powerhouse. Intended for an eventual length of six, it has been extended to four units since photograph was taken. Assembly and repair bay surmounted by offices and reception facilities, in left end. Concrete shows ordinary formwork composed of tongue-and-groove boards, whereas most TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) projects make use of special formwork described in connection with Guntersville powerhouse
Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. Closeup view of powerhouse. Note texture of concrete on electrical bay which is typical of most TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) projects. Pattern is produced by alternating directions of grain in adjoining form panels. Rough-sawn lumber is used to make grain more pronounced. Heavy texture conceals color and surface irregularities of concrete and will become particularly valuable as concrete ages. Office floor is above flood level and has continuous glass brick strip
Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. View of entrance end of generator hall from generator floor. Raised platform at end serves as delivery and assembly space for machinery, also as visitors' overlook. Machine repair and electrical shops are located under platform. Offices in downstream wing are served by open corridor, beginning of which is seen on upper floor to the right of the picture. Directly below, control room which can be inspected from entrance platform. Windows of generator hall along sides are of glass brick (as at Chickamauga, also) for heat insulation and easier maintenance
