Description

Photograph of a crowded swimming pool at the El Sereno Community Building & Plunge, 1930-1940. The long, rectangular pool is at center and is full of bathers, many of whom are wearing swimming caps. More people can be seen walking around the edge of the pool. At left is a two-story adobe building with a terracotta tile roof and a second story balcony. The pool area is fenced in with a chain-link fence, and several rolling grassy hills can be seen in the background.
