Sixty-five years ago today, Andrew Dallstream, President of the Village, approved a building permit for the construction of a swimming pool on a property located in the Spring Creek Subdivision off Algonquin Road. The concrete pool was to be 40 feet long, 20 feet in breadth and 8.5 feet deep.
The price proposed to construct the pool, including electrical, plumbing and 4.5-foot high chain link fence surrounding the pool? $4,500. The permit fee? $43.
It was suggested we share this price perspective. A copy of the documents can be viewed here.
