Mulholland Dam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mulholland Dam is a dam located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. It was named after the designer William Mulholland, who was also responsible for the design of the aqueducts and reservoirs for Los Angeles, including the Saint Francis Dam. Completed in 1924, the dam holds 2.5 billion gallons of water. In 1928, after the Saint Francis Dam collapsed, killing over 500 people, the Mulholland Dam's face was reinforced by earth. The dam impounds the Hollywood Reservoir.
