Sparrow’s Pool, Carrboro

Above is a postcard showing Joe Sparrow’s swimming pool, located in Carrboro on Old Pittsboro Road.  There’s a diving platform, and the pool house is visible in the background.  The caption on the back of the card notes that the pool was filled with water from the University reservoir.
