IMPORTANT: The red text on the front of the above photos is there for identification purposes and is not on the actual photo. This is an interesting old Real Photo Postcard. It is part of a group of four Photo Postcards we will be listing of the construction of Hoover Dam. This one is captioned "Havoc in Boulder Canyon". In September of 1932, flood waters swept through the canyon. Work had to be abandoned and evacuated due to the flood. Construction workers are studying the aftermath of damage by the flood. The building next to the man on the right may have moved. It was likely flooded a the least. Construction on Hoover Dam began in during the Great Depression in 1931 and it was completed in 1936. President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated it on September 30, 1935. The dam employed thousands of workers and over 100 lost their lives. The dam is in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River on the border between Arizona and Nevada. It was originally known as Boulder Dam, but Congress renamed it after President Herbert Hoover in 1947. The postcard is in very good condition with slightly bumped corner tips. The speck at the upper right corner area was on the negative. The photo is black and white with a nice brown tone and has very good contrast. The postcard is 5 3/8 by 3 3/8 inches and we believe it to be from the very early 1930s. What an interesting view of the aftermath of a flood in Boulder Canyon.
