September 6, 1973 - Ouray’s new swimming pool bathhouse is underway, in some of the most beautiful weather (dare we say it) of the entire year. The sad old bathhouse was brought crashing down, into what seemed a pitifully small pile of rubble early Wednesday morning. There was little fanfare, but a few old-timers were among several on hand to watch, and to reminisce about having helped build the first bathhouse in 1929.
