Description
This former swimming pool was built in 1938 for the cost of $2,000 and at this time is filled in with rock and is a playground. The original pool buildings, however, still appear to be standing with the classic art deco font saying “Swim Pool.”
The pool was in operation at least until 1965 when severe problems with leakage was reported, but may well have been used until 1976 when a new pool was built.
