Carr's Pool, built by R.E.(Dad) Carr in 1926. Note the diving platform at the north end of the pool and the large fountain in the pool's south end where children gathered. The tower at the left of the old bath house supported the pressure tank when Carr relied on his own well. In this photo, the diving platform had been extended to a height of 50 feet. On two occasions, Fred Poole and Bill McLaughlin made high dives from that tower adding a real thrill to swimming and diving exhibitions. When McLaughlin scraped the bottom, he was not seriously injured, but Dad Carr said, "No more high dives!"
