Photo 3-FKN-13 from 1966

Comments

This is Lake Storey pavilion and swimming area with a low dive dock and a high dive dock. Lake Storey is in The northwestern part of Galesburg, IL. Located in Knox County.

Today, these two docks no longer exist.

Jack Davis' comment from 2018 stating this is Lake Storey is false. That looks absolutely NOTHING like the Lake Storey Pavilion or beach. I did a little looking and this is actually the Lake Bracken Country Club. South of Galesburg, this was built in the 1920s and has since been demolished.

This appears to be at Lake Calhoun. A similar structure is at that location. I've moved the Geo pin to the building visible on the Vintage Aerial Imagery map, Modern.
Other structures on this same roll of film are near this area. The two diving docks are visible on Historic Aerials circa 1957.
