The swimming pool in the foreground is still there, but has been rebuilt. Some buildings including the light colored part of the bath house are gone.
The taller bath house building is still being used. This pool was deep enough that you can see the diving platform.Â
The big, three-story hotel was torn down in 1950-51 and the wood taken to Abilene Texas where it was used to build 14 houses.Â
The road went beside the pool. The Denver South Park Railroad was on the southern bank across from the pool.
