-This project was a tall (55-foot) concrete dam for power generation, on the Saranac River. An ad from //Engineering News//, 28 Dec 1905, identifies the client as International Paper Co (along with two larger jobs for that company at Piercefield, NY and Berlin, NH), but as there is no mill in Cadyville and the purpose of the dam was hydropower, this seems to be a misattribution.+This project was a tall (55-foot) concrete dam for power generation, on the Saranac River.

 An August 1904 ad in the //New York Sun// from FBG sought stone crushing services. Another ad [ER?], 7 Jan 1905, notes that the dam is 50 feet high and contains 10,000 cubic yards of concrete. An August 1904 ad in the //New York Sun// from FBG sought stone crushing services.
