Hamilton Pool, 1945
The first permanent construction project completed after World War II was Hamilton Pool, designed by Tufts architect Arland Dirlam. Built as an addition to the structure, the pool was constructed during the winter of 1945-46 and opened the following summer. Although the pool was originally intended to be named "Fletcher Swimming Pool," since its construction costs were partially financed by Austin B. Fletcher Estate funds, it was instead named for Frederick W. Hamilton, A1888, who was the fourth president of Tufts College. | |
