Bleachers at Astoria Pool: not only for the Olympic Trials audience, but
also for the many swim meets, hocky games, and other sporting events held
here all year round in the old days. Like many other WPA projects, this one
has not aged well, owing the use of the cheapest possible construction
materials, primarily concrete and budget bricks, because the primary point
of these projects was pay a living wage to as many workers as possible.
