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. It reads "City built for government men - very neat - with green grass and ornamental plants - in the far distance were small houses for dam workers with families." The third image (0272_0096) has a handwritten inscription that reads, "Dam is completed, visitors driving along the top for a thrill. Water has backed up to height of lower intake valve."
