  • Description
  • Miss Kensinger, of Wilkinsburg, strikes a pose on the runway that traversed the Willows pool for the 1926 Miss Pittsburgh Beauty Pageant. The crowd wades in the pool and watches from behind the main stage. The Willows originally started out as a hopping night club that featured all the big name bands of the day and fine dining. The swimming pool would not open until 1926. Oakmonters enjoyed dining, boating and partying at the Willows despite prohibition of the 1920s.
