  • Description
  • A huge crowd gathered at the Willows to watch the Miss Pittsburgh 1926 Beauty Pageant. Seating was set up along the pool and people crowded together in the grand stand. 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.
