William Mulholland and 4 other men on the east bank of the St. Francis Reservoir, San Francisquito Canyon, circa 1926-1928

Description:: The St. Francis Dam was a 200-foot high concrete gravity-arch dam built between 1924 and 1926 in St. Francisquito Canyon (near present-day Castaic and Santa Clarita).

It is considered the worst American civil engineering failure in the 20th century.
