Richmond Plunge - indoor pool
Richmond, California (CA), US
Citizens of Richmond successfully promoted a bond issue in 1926 to create the Richmond Municipal Natatorium, at that time a "state of the art" two-story building with an indoor warm water swimming pool, a fountain, observation balconies, and an open truss ceiling reminiscent of the Sutro Baths in San Francisco. Richmond's population was about 20,000 at that time, grew to over 200,000 during the "war years" and is now about 80,000.
