Description
National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2015)., The Leaburg Hydroelectric Project was put into service in January 1930 and continues to generate electric power as part of the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), a municipally owned utility headquartered in Eugene, Oregon. It is located along approximately five miles of the McKenzie River in the vicinity of Leaburg, and consists of the dam and powerhouse; the reservoir, canal and tailrace; and Leaburg Village, built to house dam workers. The Leaburg Hydroelectric Project was primarily constructed between 1928 and 1930. It was completed as originally envisioned in June 1950. Designed by the Portland engineering firm of Stevens & Koon, the facility is significant for its engineering design, incorporating innovative technological features such as the Broome Self-Closing Sluice Gate and three 100'-long roller gates. The powerhouse was designed by Ellis F. Lawrence, the first dean of the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts. The bas relief panels on the building were created by the nationally prominent sculptor Harry Camden Poole. The powerhouse is the finest example of Art Deco architecture used in an industrial setting in Oregon.
