Description
The Works Progress Administration built the Municipal Pool and Bathhouse in Cordell, OK
Contributor note:
“The municipal pool and bathhouse is located across the street south from the WPA park, at 504 E. 2nd Street. It was constructed by the WPA in 1937. The bathhouse is a one-story rock building with protruding mortar. The building is segmented into three parts with the center section projected to the west, and slightly recessed on the east poolside. The windows are large and multi-paned.
The pool to the east of the bathhouse is large and was empty and dry at the time of our visit. A sign on the fencing indicates that repairs were done in 2010. The pool and bathhouse are used today and appear to be in good shape for their age.”
