This dam is part of the flood wall and levee system between Cincinnati and the Ohio River. When the Ohio River floods, the gate will be lowered so that the Ohio River can't flow up Mill Creek and flood the valley. I presume that the building houses pumps that allow Mill Creek to continue to flow into the Ohio River when the gate is down.

An example of the flood wall. The bridge is the Cincinnati Southern Bridge.

Kevin's comment taught me about this dam.

| Timeless Baseball Pics posted via Dennis DeBruler Kevin Harmon: That picture is of the flooded Mill Creek. The flooded Ohio River backed up the Mill Creek. Later a dam was built across the mouth of the Mill Creek. It's called the Barrier Dam and prevents the river from backing up the creek. |
