Condit Hydroelectric Power Plant

Built on the White Salmon River, this complex is a medium head facility including a concrete gravity dam with ogee-shaped spillway, an extensive water conveyance system with wood stave pipe, and a concrete powerhouse with Francis turbines. It was designed and built in 1913 to provide power to a single customer—the Crown Columbia Paper Mill in Camas. It was named for its designer, engineer B. C. Condit of San Francisco.
