Unique Qualities: Even if you don't use the pool, you must at least go see it as I did. As you first enter, it appears as if you have entered something out of Roman literature. The pool was build as part of the originial construction of the building dating back to 1929. At its time, it was considered quite extraordinary to have built a pool above ground.

There is a statue of Neptune on the far wall and there is stadium seating for observers. The pool is located in the historical tower of the building.
