The bathhouse and pool were added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1992, due to their architectural and historical significance.[2] HistoryDesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice Don Buel Schuyler, the Queen City Pool operated from 1943 through 1989.[1] It was constructed as a Civil Works Administration/Works Project Administration relief project of the Great Depression.[3] The site features a poured concrete bathhouse, a wading pool and an art deco fountain.[4] The city of Tuscaloosa constructed two public pools in an era of strict segregation, Gulf States Pool and Queen City, with Queen City being the "whites-only" pool. The pool closed in 1966 when desegregation was mandated.[5] The former swimming pool was filled in with dirt in June 2005.[6] Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation MuseumIn May 2005, it was announced that the bathhouse would be converted into a transportation museum. This became possible after the Alabama Department of Transportation awarded the city a grant to convert the facility into a museum illustrating the history of transportation in Tuscaloosa. The financing for the project came from a $1.94 million federal award that required a 20 percent match by the city, or $260,000.[7] The renovation was designed by the Eclectic Group, Inc. of Huntsville and Ward Scott Veron Architects of Tuscaloosa.[7] On December 13, 2011, the renovated bath house was officially opened as the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum.[8] The museum's exhibits trace the city's history through the development of its transportation structures.[9][10] References1. ^1 {{cite news | last =Taylor| first =Stephanie | title =Bathhouse dives into the past | work =The Tuscaloosa News | date =December 21, 2005 | url = http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20051222/NEWS/512220339}} 2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^{{cite news | last =Brown | first =David J | title =Statewide Preservation Organizations and NHPA | url =http://crm.cr.nps.gov/archive/19-6/19-6-13.pdf}} 4. ^{{cite news | last =Dawkins | first =Amanda | title =Historic pool's role in new riverfront still up in the air | work =The Tuscaloosa News | date =June 23, 2003 | url =http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20030623/NEWS/306230317}} 5. ^https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1817&dat=19690516&id=Ow0dAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BpwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7326,3498228&hl=en 6. ^{{cite news | last =Calloway | first =LeMont | title =Renovation of Queen City Park is poised to begin | work =The Tuscaloosa News | date =June 21, 2005 | url =http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20050621/NEWS/506210334}} 7. ^1 {{cite news | last =Cobb | first =Mark Hughes | title =Transportation museum project in motion | work =The Tuscaloosa News | date =April 27, 2009 | url =http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20090427/NEWS/904269893}} 8. ^{{cite news | last =Pow | first =Chris | title =Officials dedicate Tuscaloosa's Transportation Museum | work =al.com | date = December 13, 2011 | url =http://blog.al.com/tuscaloosa/2011/12/tuscaloosa_transportation_muse.html}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Transportation Museum opens its doors|url=http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20111213/NEWS/111219927|publisher=Tuscaloosa News|accessdate=19 June 2015|date=December 13, 2011}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=The Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum|url=https://john-kelton.squarespace.com/new-page-2-1/|publisher=Kelton Design|accessdate=19 June 2015}} External links
