Inventive engineer Isham Randolph built an end-on dam 200 yards above Horseshoe Falls to raise Niagara River water level for winter ice jams. A 50 foot long concrete obelisk, seven feet high, 7 feet 4 inches square, weight about 200 tons, used a 500 pound iron chain and wooden wedges at eight-foot intervals to break into blocks. On November 1905 the dam was launched by three hydraulic jacks, splitting along designed lines and increasing water depth by ten inches.
