| Description |
Scan of a photo with caption: "Pumping out Grace coffer dam, October 6, 1907. This picture shows the pumping arrangements at the Grace coffer dam. A ten inch centrifugal pump is the only one at present in service. It is driven by an electic motor but the best tracion engine is kept at hand and fired up in order that it may be used to run the pump when accidents prevent the motor's running. On a truck on the hill above is a twelve inch pump to be driven by a steam engine, and to be installed shortly to assist the smaller pump" |

| Additional Information |
The Grace hydroelectric project on the Bear River near the town of Grace, Idaho, is part of the Bear River hydroelectric power project in southern Idaho. The Telluride Power Company built a dam and power plant on the Bear River near the town of Grace in 1906-1908. A larger dam was built after 1910. This dam diverted the water from Bear River into a large wooden and steel pipeline, or penstock. The water was then carried to a powerhouse that was built at the Grace Plant, which is located about four and one half miles south and west of the dam. At the Grace Plant, the water was directed into three separate turbines that generated the electricity. With a drop of some 530 feet in elevation between the dam site and the powerhouse, considerable electricity was generated. This complex was later acquired by Utah Power and Light. A new dam was built in 1951, just downstream from the old one |
