Miscellaneous design. Libraries in rural areas are among the great needs of the Tennessee Valley. The one shown in this photograph was built and equipped with the assistance of work relief labor out of primitive local materials

Miscellaneous design. Another library, connecting with a larger reading and recreational room, built to accommodate construction employees and residents of the vicinity. This structure is demountable, having been constructed in slices on the same principle as demountable houses, at a distance of some 300 miles from its present site at Fort Loudon i.e, Loudoun Tennessee. It can be easily dismantled for relocation where the need for library services may be greater in the future

Miscellaneous design. Another school built by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), primarily for children of its own employees at Norris, Tennessee, but operated in combination with state authorities and made available to children of county residents. It is used as a model school in the state teachers' training program

Miscellaneous design. In the course of reservoir construction the Authority occasionally floods out existing railroad lines which it replaces, together with their bridges and stations. This small station at Concord, Tennessee, is notable principally for its total deviation from usual practice for such structures in the Valley, chiefly in its clear cut plan, open shelter, light brick masonry, and the use of bright colors

The grocery store in the group of buildings shown in K 1870 was likewise designed as an offset to the usual dark and messy crossroads establishment typical of rural areas.

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
