Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed the striking municipal pool house and pool Riverside Park in Iola, Kansas.
GetRuralKansas.com: “The WPA pool was one of the largest pools in Kansas, and because of its size, a new swim meet regulation size pool and a zero entrance, along with many other modern amenities, were built inside of the old pool.”
