Description
Standing on a board over the Willows Pool is the young girl who won the Miss Pittsburgh, Jr. pageant in 1926. Her face does not convey the excitement she must have been feeling at her victory. Despite her ruffle-covered costume and recent success, very few of the people in the background seem to be paying attention to this little girl. The Willows originally started out as a hopping night club that featured all the big name bands of the day and fine dining. The swimming pool would not open until 1926. Oakmonters enjoyed dining, boating and partying at the Willows despite prohibition of the 1920s.
