This vintage linen postcard features an architect's sketch of the Fontana Dam and Power House from downstream, located in North Carolina. Printed on textured linen stock typical of the 1940-1949 era, the card showcases the dam's massive concrete structure with a colorful sky and waterway, capturing the engineering marvel that was the highest concrete dam east of the Rocky Mountains upon completion. The artwork highlights the dam's scale and power generation facilities, reflecting the urgency of its construction during World War II to support war industries.
Published by Asheville Post Card Co. of Asheville, N.C., this postcard offers a divided back for correspondence and a brief historical description of the project. The Fontana Dam, completed early in 1944, created a reservoir over 29 miles long, with a surface area exceeding 10,000 acres, playing a critical role in flood control and power production.
