Dam...that’s a big wall!
This is a portion of the Wachusett Reservoir Dam in Clinton, MA. If you look towards the bottom right of the building, you can see a man walking his dog...just to give you a size perspective on this dam. This is also the place that has walking trails around it, and you can climb up/down the 2 sets of stairs on each side of the dam...each set with approximately 194 steps.
It's amazing to to me that this wall is holding back 65 billion gallons of water. Work on this Dam was completed in 1905 and the reservoir was first filled in May of 1908.
