Lincoln
Park Gym, Pool, Auditorium
Looks
like these pictures were taken in the 70s.
The pool, the
auditorium and maybe the pavilion were once the
conservatory
buildings. Looks like the old buildings were gutted out
and the frames
were kept and then remodeled.
All three
current buildings are lined up as shown on the old photos of
the original
buildings. Definitely the pool building is original.
The windows
and the wall look the same from the old postcards.
This is the side
of the swimming pool entrance area.
This is the current
swimming pool building but the park office was added later.
The office today
is built on this side where you see the four murals behind the mound of
dirt.
(Anyone remember
the murals?)
Here is a view
of the pool entrance area.
The same counter
is still being used today.
Notice there
was no gym at this time,
that's because
the gym was part of the auditorium as you see in the next picture.
Today this the
auditorium without the basketball court.
The dark shade
of the picture is the stage.
Lower left is
the entrance to the kitchen.
This is the opposite
side of the auditorium.
The gym is being
built on the other side of the wall with the scaffolding.
Note the floors
with the court markings.
The roof is being
redone above the auditorium.
