This vintage postcard image captures a moment in time at the Bonneville Dam powerhouse on the Columbia River.

The Bonneville Dam was the first major dam on the Columbia River, located about 40 miles outside of Portland, Oregon, spanning the border with Washington.
Construction on the dam began in 1933 as a New Deal project and was completed in 1938.
The dam was built to generate hydroelectric power and improve river navigation.
The image shows a large collection of logs in the river, indicating the area's historical use for timber transport.
The structure is a national historic site and an engineering marvel.
