Scope and content
A woman assumes the diving position as she stands at the edge of the diving board in a May, 1958, photograph. Other women lounge on the concrete surrounding the large swimming pool or take a dip in the refreshing water. A concrete block dressing area for both men and women is adjacent to the pool. The pool facilities appear to be nestled among a tall strand of trees. This was the 1600 square foot heated and filtered swimming pool at the Glenwood Acres housing development. The water was a balmy 75 degrees at all times. A Hi-fi music system provided entertainment for the swimmers. Swimming was permitted at night since the pool had special night lighting. A clubhouse, wading pool and tennis courts were planned to be built later. The pool was designed by Sitts & Hill, engineers, and the cost born by area residents. Developer of the Glenwood Acres planned community was Fanning-Starkey Co. with Stromberg Construction as the contractor. Photograph ordered by Stromberg Construction.
