An album of photographs that document the construction of the Cold Springs Dam by the United States Bureau of Reclamation near Hermiston, Oregon, 1906-1908., Images consist primarily of views of the site for the Cold Springs Dam before, during, and after its construction, including views of trenches, chutes, gates, and spillways. Images of specific equipment used in construction include a Marion steam shovel on a flat railway car, small steam locomotives, and an excavator with an orange peel grapple, in addition to dump cars situated on both railroad cars and sleds manufactured by the Kilgore Peteler Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota., Many of the photographs were created by photographers B. H. Davis or W. C. Sawyer., Several images depict the mess halls, offices, and dormitories for workers; and a railroad grade and trestle used for transporting construction materials. A few images provide indirect views of the campsite used by Greek nationals who worked on the project., Several images document the aftermath of a railroad wreck involving a dump car that injured a brakeman. A few images document damage caused by floods of the construction site in February 1907. An image shows a team of horses hauling a locomotive overland to the dam construction site, and another image illustrates prehistoric bones unearthed during construction., and Views of interiors include images showing men posed among equipment, probably in a machine shop; men posed among desks, probably in the project office; and a man in a general store, which includes a sign advertising Lowney's chocolate bonbons.
