A view of Carr Pool (upper right) from the air in the early 1930s. The pool was built in 1926 by R. E. (Dad) Carr after Ames voters turned down a bond issue to build a city pool. Carr's homestead is shown in center; hill drive down to pool is now (1995) part of 16th Street, and the field in foreground is residential development.
