Summary

Significance: The John and Landon Carter House, known locally as "The Mansion," is a noteworthy example of southern domestic architecture in every respect. Built by the prominent Carter family about 1775, it is one of Tennessee's most important surviving examples of early domestic architecture. This is due not only to the early date of construction but also to several unusual architectural features, in particular, the outstanding panelled interiors reminiscent of Virginia work.

Dams under construction. Watts Bar Dam, shown here under construction, has a semi-outdoors type powerhouse with an enormous gantry crane (to the right of the picture) for installation and removal of units. The project is further distinguished by a control building which is entirely removed from the hydro plant, being located some 120 feet higher on top of a steep cliff and with direct connection to the switchyard behind. The windowless left wing of the control building houses the control room; the tower-like structure in the back accomodates air conditioning, restrooms, etc. The glass wall, upper level, contains the reception room with a broad semi-circular overlook terrace, the story below the terrace devoted to offices
