description

Summary

Significance: Built in 1941-1942, the structure represents the typical damtender's dwelling designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dwelling was constructed as part of 14 dam and reservoir projects built in the Ohio River basin under the Federal Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936. The building represents the efforts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design a habitable dwelling that could be placed at several sites yet still be considered compatible with the building traditions of western Pennsylvania.
