Crystal Pool in Fayette City is being demolished

Opened in 1953. Family owned until 2014.
It's a sad time for my little corner of Pennsylvania.

We used to go to Red's Beach and Crystal Pool why back when. As I recall now it was on the right hand side of the hill coming into Fayette City ( there is a oxymoron). Spent a lot of nice afternoons there.

As I recall it was changed into a swim "pool club" with card membership and restricted somewhere in the 60's when segregation issues started to impact the valley .
