Built between 1927 and 1930, the pool represents an important effort by the city to improve municipal services during a time of unprecedented economic growth. It performed a social function of attracting residents to congregate under informal circumstances, an important service in a community experiencing rapid demographic changes. It remains in use today. The pool house features Rustic stylistic influences, an unusual style in San Angelo.
Wall are coursed, roughly-squared stone, with cast stone sills and parapet caps. Windows are steel casements with steel lintels. Entrances are protected by minimal flat and sloped roof additions. The stonework, vigas and relatively small openings show Rustic influences.
