From the time President Coolidge signed the Boulder Canyon Project Act on 21 December 1928, the construction of Hoover Dam was destined to become one of the greatest man-made endeavors of the modern world. Surpassed only by the likes of such monumental accomplishments as the Pyramids in Egypt and the Colosseum in Rome, it is by today's standards among the greatest achievements known to man.
Here is a small collection of photos from
the Boulder Canyon Project and Boulder City.
This page is currently under construction itself, so please check back again for
