I found another box of photographs in one of the seldom-visited nooks of the print shop this week; it was filled with some great photos. Some of these images have never been published; most, when I received them, were impractical to prepare. (I really love my new scanner which scans all types of photographs, even negatives!) I hope you enjoy these.
These 4 images show men working to build what I assume was a swimming hole in the park. I vaguely remember a diving board in this area when I was a child. Of course, subsequent floods filled in the swimming hole with all sorts of debris and gravel. The diving board is long-gone. I thought you might like this glimpse of the work done in the park in the late 1950s.
