There is a concrete core wall about 8 feet (2.4 m) thick at the bottom and 2.5 feet (0.76 m) at the top.
They were built 1876–78 as part of an expansion of the public water supply of the city of Boston. The dam is 2,280 feet (690 m) long, and impounds an area of 253 acres (102 ha) in the Sudbury River watershed.

It was designed to carry water from the watershed of the Sudbury River to Boston and its surrounding communities.
