Description
The judges struggle to narrow down the field of lovely ladies to one winner in the 1927 Miss Pittsburgh Beauty Pageant. The pageant attracted a large crowd to 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.
