The Lake Drive Dam & the 3-Day Flood
You're standing on the dam that made Lake Gregory. WPA crews began damming Houston Creek in 1937, but federal funding collapsed in 1938 and Arthur Gregory finished the job out of his own pocket. Days later, the great March 1938 floods filled the entire lake in just three days.
