The complex was built in 1938-39 as part of an effort to make the river navigable and establish a route for barges between Chicago and the Mississippi River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed the complex; their influence is particularly evident in the dam's control station, as the State of Illinois designed most other dam control stations along the river. The lock has a standard {{convert|100|x|600|ft|adj=on}} chamber, similar to other locks on the river, and a vertical lift of {{convert|11|ft}}. The dam is {{convert|536|ft}} long and includes 108 wicket gates and a Tainter gate; it is one of two Illinois dams which still uses wicket gates. The control station is for the most part a large, functional building, though it has Art Deco surrounds at the main entrance. The district also contains an original maneuver boat designed to raise and lower the dam's wicket gates; the boat is still used and is one of four boats of its kind left in the United States.[2] The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 2004.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{Commons category|Peoria Lock and Dam}}{{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Illinois-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Henning|first1=Barbara J.|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Peoria Lock and Dam Historic District|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/223449.pdf|publisher=Illinois Historic Preservation Agency|accessdate=September 27, 2015|date=2001}} 6 : Dams on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Dams completed in 1939|National Register of Historic Places in Tazewell County, Illinois|Illinois River|Historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Transportation buildings and structures in Tazewell County, Illinois |
