DESCRIPTION
Outstanding 1936-era Colorado construction and engineering photograph album, measuring approximately 10 x 13 inches, with all album pages shown in the photographs.
The most important identifiable portion documents the construction of San Isabel City Dam, with a remarkable multi-part photographic panorama specifically captioned:
“San Isabel City Dam Construction. 1936 — Pueblo’s Recreation Center.”
The same photograph is credited “Photo by Muramoto, De Luxe Studio, Pueblo, Colo.”
This is an unusually extensive visual record of Depression-era heavy construction and civil engineering. While San Isabel City Dam construction is the clearest identified project and a major subject of the album, the photographs encompass a broader range of construction and infrastructure work.
CONTENT INCLUDES:
- 1936 San Isabel City Dam construction
- Pueblo’s Recreation Center identification directly on the dam photograph
- Photographs credited to Muramoto, De Luxe Studio, Pueblo, Colorado

- Construction camps and temporary work facilities
- Numerous photographs of workers and construction crews
- Group photographs of men associated with the work
- Winter construction scenes with deep snow
- Mountain and Colorado landscape views associated with the projects
- Several photographs showing early automobiles and trucks
- A small number of social/group photographs
- Early automobile/parade scenes
- Industrial and utility buildings
- Large water-control/dam structure shown from several viewpoints
- Numerous photographs documenting projects at different stages rather than simply finished structures
The album is particularly interesting because it appears to have been assembled by someone with direct access to major construction projects. Many photographs were taken from within active work areas and show machinery, crews, excavations and structures at close range.
The combination of identified 1936 San Isabel City Dam photographs, Pueblo photographer attribution, heavy-equipment imagery, engineering documentation, road construction, water-control projects and extensive original photographic content makes this much more substantial than a typical family snapshot album.
