Description
An account of the resource
A front view of the wheel-house under construction in 1915. It contained two waterwheels and was a part of the project to rebuild the dam in the 1910s.
This wheel-house was a part of the Iowa City Light and Power Company. The articles of this company, originally the Iowa City Electric Light Company, were incorporated on August 18, 1886. According to Lovetinsky et al., "This company was organized to furnish lighting for an arc system for the businesses of Iowa City. The plant was permanently installed at Coralville" (p. 61).
The plant was destroyed thirteen years later on January 3, 1899 in a fire. It was quickly rebuilt and in operation again in the summer of that same year. According to Lovetinsky et al., "A modern gas plant was erected in 1902, and put into service for the first time in 1904. During 1909 the gas and electric companies were consolidated and in 1912 it became known as the Iowa City Light and Power Company" (p. 61).

Description
An account of the resource
Workers start construction on the old mill dam to create a 3,000-kilowatt waterwheel pit for the Iowa City Electric Light and Power Company. The old flour mill can be seen in the background; *snow covers the project and the men wear coats and hats (Walch, p. 32).
*In Images of America, the description under this photograph (Lovetinsky et al., p. 61) states the image was taken at the beginning of the construction process in August of 1915. Due to the snow, it does not seem likely this image was taken in summer months.

Description
An account of the resource
About twenty men work repair construction on the wooden dam. Whether these repairs were needed due to the result of age, use, or ice damage is unknown.
Behind the workers along the bank of the river are the Coralville mills. Starting from the left is part of the Woolen Mill, then the Close Paper Mill, and then Clark's Flour Mill (Lovetinsky et al., p. 14).
*Lest We Forget dates this photograph 1843-1844. However, as the Close Paper Mill was built in 1865, and the Woolen Mill (later to be the Pearl Oat Mill) in 1866, the 1843 is far too early. Walch, on page 31 of his book, dates this photograph at 1891; again, however, the Close Paper Mill was completely destroyed in an explosion in 1875. A more accurate estimated date would be late 1860s-mid 1870s - and likely closer to the 1866 or 1867, as it looks like the Close Paper Mill is still under construction.

An account of the resource
A wooden dam built across the Iowa River. Trees line the side of either bank of the river behind the dam. Wood boards lay in haphazard piles along the shore closest to the photographer.
During an Iowa City Manufacturing Company meeting on May 18, 1842, there was a recommendation to dam the river and build a flour mill. Construction on both projects began in June of 1843.
Shareholders paid for their shares mostly through labor and groceries. As Lovetinsky notes, "An examination of the company's books showed that what probably was the most substantial structure west of the Mississippi River had cost but $25.00 in actual cash, with the balance paid for in dry goods, groceries, meat, and flour" (Lovetinsky et al., p. 12).
The flour company began grinding flour on January 1, 1844, but the business struggled and passed through many owners until 1848, when Ezekiel Clark and E.W. Lake of Ohio purchased both the dam and mill. The mill was officially named Clarksville, though often called the "Kirkwood Mill" after Clark's brother-in-law and future state governor Samuel J. Kirkwood purchased a quarter share of the company and became the mill's active manager in 1855 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 12).

Description
An account of the resource
John H. Halvorsen walks beside his ditching machine. He used this machine to put in water and sewer lines both in Manville and University Heights in Iowa City; pieces of pipe can be seen on the ground near him.
John H. Halvorsen was born in Halden, Norway to August and Marie Josephine (Anderson) Halvorsen on June 15, 1884. He came to America as a teenager, first living in Chicago, Illinois before moving to Iowa. On June 3rd of 1922, he married Maude Allamand of Mississippi. They had three children: William "Bill" (b. 1922), Robert "Bud" (b. 1924), and Alta (b. 1931).
John became an American citizen in 1932. Beyond operating the ditching machine, he worked as a fireman for the Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company before retiring in 1949. He and his wife were very involved in the Coralvile community: they were one of the first families to begin the Coralville Bible Church (eventually called the Evangelical Free Church). John was also elected to the Coralville School Board in 1933, and served for 21 years. He died on July 1, 1972 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 105).

An account of the resource
A photograph of Harold D. Paschal, the Grand Master of the masonic Clarksville Lodge 668 of Coralville, and Mayor Michael Kattchee stand next to the public library cornerstone. The symbolic laying of the cornerstone ceremony was attended by about 75 people; the actual cornerstone was later placed into the wall of the building with a time capsule behind it.
The following quote was printed in the Coralville Courier: "According to Kattchee the library is not being built just because it would be 'nice' or because some people want it. Calling libraries the 'backbone of our democratic society,' Kattchee said the 'main and foremost reason is that the citizens of Coralville need a library'" (Coralville Courier, 1986).
