| Additional Information: | In 1965, the Town of Allouez had constructed an indoor municipal swimming pool. The Town of Allouez Municipal Swimming Pool closed in 1978, except for the summer season because of rising operational costs. In the early 1980s, the Town Board discussed closing the pool completely. Because of its structural problems and energy inefficiency, the pool building became a financial burden for the town. Soon after, a group of local investors approached the Town Board about purchasing and modifying the pool building. Proposed work for the building included fixing the roof and adding a solar heating system. By the late 1980s and 1990s, architecture firm, Berners-Schober designed several additions to the property, including two parking lots, fitness rooms, and remodeling projects. Today, the Village of Allouez retains ownership of the Allouez Municipal Pool; however the building is currently occupied by the Broadview Y.M.C.A. |
