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

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

Tennessee Valley Authority. Watts Bar Dam hydroelectric plant. One of four tube-generating units which produce electric power at TVA's Watts Bar steam plant. This plant will supplement the big hydroelectric installations at Watts Bar Dam, which has an authorized output of 90,000 kilowatts, and a possible ultimate of 150,000 kilowatts. Each of the four big turbo-generators in the steam plant is rated at 60,000 kilowatts

Recreational structures. Boat harbor at Norris, with parking spaces in foreground. Harbor was obtained practically without added expense by application of design to the quarrying operations which furnished the concrete aggregate for the dam. This view, which shows only a portion of the parking space, indicates the tremendous popularity enjoyed by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) resorts, all the parking spaces being jammed full on summer holidays
