1938–1940, C. H. Streeter, engineer. North of 1st St., opposite Clay St.

A small-scaled but still quite impressive engineering project of the late depression years, this complex includes four rotating steel spillway gates that open between graceful concrete abutments; these abutments are in turn connected at the top by a concrete walkway.
