Description

This photograph has three images. The first one (0272_0094) shows the Boulder Dam Hotel in Boulder City, Nevada. The inscription reads, "A new building built in 1934-35. Needed to accommodate influx of visitors to the dam." The second one (0272_0095) depicts a residential section in Boulder City, Nevada.
