FROM NAZARETH PATCH
This beautiful art deco pool was one of the few above-ground municipal pools to be constructed in the country and like Nazareth's Borough Pool, it was built by the WPA from 1937 to 1939. Though I was raised in Nazareth from birth, my mother and her family are from Bangor and this pool was a big part of their lives. In fact, my great-grandfather, John I. Correll, was a Bangor Councilman at the time and Project Chairman of the pool's construction. He also oversaw the development of Bangor Memorial Park around it.
