Notes
  • Significance: Butt Valley Dam Gate Tender's House was built by GPW for the use of its employees. The house's most noteworthy resident was Ben Goon, a long-time GPW employee and well-respected gate tender and patrolman of the Butt Valley-to-Caribou Powerhouse flume. Although built in a simple folk style, the house represents a rapidly disappearing architectural type associated with the 1900s hydroelectric development and is one of the few extant gate tender's houses built at the inception of the Almanor/Caribou power system.
