Description An account of the resource Picture of Hutchinson Post Office in Fresno, taken in 1884, located in the two-story Hutchinson Block, currently the location of the Security Bank Building at Mariposa and Fulton Streets. The Hutchinson Block was built by Charles G. Hutchinson, a San Francisco capitalist, as part of a surge of "block" building with most of the structures named for their builders. Construction began in 1883 and completed in 1885. Adjoining property owners began the practice of subsidizing the post office for the purpose of attracting business up Mariposa Street. The post office had been farther west toward the Southern Pacific Railroad station. Property owners paid the rent for the post office in the new Hutchinson Building for a number of years. This building was extensively remodeled in 1889 by the Fresno Loan and Savings Bank, with two additional stories and an elevator. The bank became insolvent in 1895 and the building was demolished in 1923 to make way for the Pacific Southwest (later, Security Bank) Building.

Description An account of the resource Friant Dam pictured here was classified as ready for service in November 1944. In July 1945 Peter Kiewit & Sons Company of Omaha, Nebraska was awarded the contract to build the Friant-Kern Canal. The Friant-Kern Canal outlet works are located on the left side of the spillway. The canal travels in a southerly direction over 152 miles carrying water from Millerton Lake to the Kern River four miles west of Bakersfield. Excavation work began in August 1945. On July 9, 1949, 2,500 people watched a former Reclamation location engineer and a citrus grower from the town of Lindsay usher in the first delivery of water. The system became fully operational on June 29, 1951. Except for the Delta-Mendota Canal, the Friant-Kern is the largest lined canal in the West.

Title A name given to the resource Excavation for Friant Dam and rerouting of the San Joaquin River Friant California Subject The topic of the resource Dams -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs.; Flood control -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs.; Irrigation -- California -- Fresno County -- Photographs.; Fresno County (Calif.) -- Buildings, structures, etc. -- 20th century -- Photographs.; Friant Dam (Calif.) -- Photographs. Description An account of the resource Annotation on the back of the photo tells how the Friant Dam will sit "right in the V" where the earth has been removed. During construction of the Dam, powder charges helped remove over 1.2 million cubic yards of loose material during foundation excavation. The annotation also tells us the structure in the foreground "is diversion channel where the river will soon flow". On two occasions, first in 1940 and again in 1941, Bureau of Reclamation's engineers diverted the San Joaquin River to place the dam's concrete. The river's course was first channeled through a 36-foot timber flume in July 1940 allowing workers to excavate and pour concrete. In the spring of 1941, with the foundation in place, engineers again moved the "river in a box" so concreting could continue.
