Scope and content
On November 17, 1927, eleven members of the Fanchon-Marco revue, who were appearing on stage at the Broadway Theater, were photographed at the Azure Pool, 748 Market Street, while enjoying a specially arranged swim. The short-lived Azure Pool was dedicated in May of 1927. Designed by noted Tacoma architect Silas E. Nelsen and built of concrete by C.F. Davidson, the natatorium advertised "Swim in Drinking Water." Private lessons were offered by appointment. (photograph has been damaged in corner) (T.Times 11-18-27, p. 20-alternate photograph)
