EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Norris Dam, a remarkable feat of engineering on the Clinch River in Tennessee. Erected by the Tennessee Valley Authority during the early 1930s as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, this hydroelectric marvel stands tall against the backdrop of Appalachia. The image showcases the dam's imposing concrete structure, stretching across the river with its massive wall. The photographer skillfully captures its exterior from a distance, emphasizing its sheer size and power. The water flowing through spillways adds dynamism to the scene, highlighting both its functional purpose and natural beauty. The Norris Dam symbolizes progress and innovation in an era marked by economic hardship. It not only provided electricity to rural communities but also brought about significant social change in Southern states like Tennessee. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to harness nature's resources for public benefit. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by The Granger Collection in 1935, we are reminded of how infrastructure projects can shape landscapes while leaving lasting legacies for generations to come.
