Notes
  • Significance: J. Roy Pennell acquired property and began construction of the multiple arch reinforced concrete dam in 1933. Pennell abandoned the project in 1935 and it was completed by the City of Abbeville with Public Works Administration funds in 1940. The two original S. Morgan Smith hydro turbines are still in operation. In 1946 the plant was enlarged and a Bush Sulzer diesel engine acquired to provide auxiliary power. The facility remains in operation today.
  • Survey number: HAER SC-5
  • Building/structure dates: 1933-1940 Initial Construction
  • Building/structure dates: 1946 Subsequent Work
