Once upon a time in Bluffton, if swimming was the plan, this was the scene.
The photo, enlarged from a snapshot taken in the early 1920s shows the Buckeye from the south bank looking north.
The building in the photo is very near the location of today's shelter house.
The "pool" had a slide and diving board platform (on the right), and a dressing area. Missing from the scene is a float (raft) with two barrels underneath.
That's correct. The Jefferson Street bridge of Riley Creek is but a memory. Here are two photos from late last week, plus two photos from the previous week showing the bridge coming down.
