Four pics - probably from the 30's and probably somewhere in Hamburg. This has a "feel" of a high school swimming pool, as opposed to a public one.

This is the Hamburg public pool, which opened in early 1930s. This is looking south, toward ball diamond, in general direction of Washington St.

Hmmm. Where was it compared to 234? Towards Lenhartsville? I have a vague recollection of a baseball field down that way, maybe 3 or 4 blocks further than the 3rd and 4th intersections with Washington. But that's a long time ago.
Okay, this is looking south. If you walked straight ahead for about 3 blocks, you would get to the end of Washington St. that was near the foundry (Second St. intersection). I really can't guess the age of these photos. Those trailers in the background, and the size of some of the trees, look late 40s or early 50s to me. The pool was enlarged in the 1970s, so it was certainly before then. And the big barn in the next photo along with those old cars say 1930s or early 40s.
