The Cunningham House


The Cunningham House on Queen City Avenue is a private residence and also houses a graphic arts studio. According to the sign out front and their website, the home is also available to rent for weddings and other events. Maybe they'll update the website with the history of the home soon.

As promised yesterday, here's the art deco style fountain that was part of the kiddie pool at the historic Queen City Pool in Tuscaloosa.

Queen City Pool Bathouse


Featured on the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1943.
"Designed by architect Don Buel Schuler a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and built with WPA money, the pool was one of the finest in the state. The poured concrete bathhouse features a unique design of intersecting circles and arcs. The wading pool contains a delightful art deco fountain. Closed since the 1980s, the City of Tuscaloosa is developing plans for its restoration."Historic Tuscaloosa
In 2005, the plan was to reopen the building as a transportation museum. I'm not sure where the City is with its plan. The bathouse still sits vacant, boarded up, and the pool filled in with dirt. Tomorrow, I'll show you the fountain.
