Water Fountain 1930's

The fountain was at an old swimming recreational area built in the 1930's. It is now a park with trails.

Art Deco period? Bet that could tell a story or two. No 1 is the pick for me.

Could have lead pipes to the fountain?

The rec area was for swimming in the Missouri river. One of the bath houses.

Not long to wait for that. Most colourful time of year imo.

In my yesterday years I used to photo the water pumps and drinking fountains I saw on my holiday
Sadly many of these have now been removed for health and safety reasons
I was interesting seeing the old village pump, that worked
You are right, lead pipes and various illness pre covid meant that they could not be used.
