The Beautiful Vendome Pool, Dance Hall
and Entertainment Complex
The Vendome Company was owned by Mr. Townsley and Mr.
Lewis. They used the Park Hotel well, across Broadway, to fill the pool
originally.
The Vendome pool was built on the south side of Broadway, directly across from where the Sulphur Library is now. The Vendome Well is still flowing and was the largest shallow artesian well on the Vendome grounds.

The
Vendome "Natatorium." The character in the left
middle-ground looks like the "Nosferatu" vampire of the movies!

restaurant in the background, in the 1920's. The dance hall drew
visitors from around the state and nation.
