Norwich Water Power Company, Dam, West bank of Shetucket River opposite Fourteenth Street, Greenville section, Norwich, New London County, CT

Significance: The dam is significant as a major component of an 1882 rebuilding of the Norwich Water Power Company's facilities. The project reduced the length of the canal and improved the flow of water, thereby better meeting the needs of the numerous manufacturers who had located their factories along the company's canal. As modified in 1886 and again in 1915, the 1882 dam is representative of two common 19th-century techniques, massive stone masonry and timber-crib construction.
