Crystal Pool Natatorium, Seattle, circa 1927
Order an ImageThe Crystal Pool Natatorium was designed by B. Marcus Priteca and constructed in 1915 and 1916. Seated at Second Avenue and Lenora Street, it housed a heated, saltwater pool with water from Elliott Bay. The pool could be covered by wood flooring, and the surface used to host dances or boxing matches. In 1942, Reverend William H. Offiler purchased the building and converted it into the Bethel Temple. The building was demolished in 2003.
