  • Description
  • Theresa Krupp of Braddock, number 20, rounds the corner at the edge of the Willows Pool with a wry smile. The 1927 Miss Pittsburgh Beauty Pageant was held at the Willows Pool in Oakmont. 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.
