Queen City Pool and Pool House, Historic pool and transportation museum in Tuscaloosa, United States

The Queen City Pool features a circular concrete bathhouse measuring 75 feet in diameter, with an art deco fountain at the entrance point.

Built in 1941 through the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression, the pool operated until 1989 under the design of Don Buel Schuyler.

The bathhouse transformed into the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum in 2011, displaying the evolution of transport methods in Tuscaloosa.

The facility will undergo renovations starting August 2024 to become the new location of the Kentuck Art Center, adding another cultural dimension.

From 2012 to 2015, the former swimming pool area transformed into a seasonal ice rink during the annual Holidays on the River celebrations.
