Franklin Swimming Pool, 1956
The Franklin swimming pool had its grand opening in June 1956, which was celebrated with a barbeque and dance performances by the Cooper School of Dance. Later in the evening, a water show organized by LSU swimming coach W.G. Higginbotham was held. The admission fee was 50 cents for adults and 30 cents for children. The pool and bath house were funded by community donations. It was located at 251 Haifleigh Street.
