Description: [Created in 1952 before environmental laws protecting historic resources were enacted, the J. Strom Thurmond Dam and Lake at Clarks Hill was constructed without] a historic structures survey of the area, and no known documentation of individual resources remained. The purpose of this study was to explore other records that might answer the question, "what historic resources were lost?" This report describes efforts to locate historic photographs and/or written descriptions of the structures destroyed during the construction of the dam and reservoir. While searching for this information, Mr. Tom Lewis, Natural Resources Manager for the Clarks Hill Project, encouraged the examination of the acquisition files for the reservoir project belonging to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. The files were found to contain a nearly complete profile of architecture in eastern Lincoln County in the early twentieth century. Without the construction of the dam and reservoir, the structures would have never been documented, though they were documented incidentally. Images of the historic photographs and written information found in these records are included in this report. --From preface.
