St. Francis Dam
San Francisquito Canyon

It is said that this photograph was taken at noon on March 12, 1928. However, the caption on the back of the original photo reads: "Taken March 9, 1928, by E.B. (Al) Louden."
In any case it is believed to be the last photograph of the St. Francis Dam before it broke at 3 1/2 minutes before midnight on March 12.
