Kenwood Pool 1: aeriel views, 1967 & present day.







One of the main structural changes at Kenwood is the repositioning of the swimming pool. It was moved at some point in the 90s, thus destroying the lawn in front of the sunroom.
John originally had the pool constructed in 1964. Apparently he wanted a mirrored bottom, which would have been good, provided one didn't mind getting badly sunburned every time one took a swim. Here are some photos of the restructured pool dating from 2006. The area with the chairs was where it used to be. Thanks to Chris Sileo for the improved 60s aerial shot.
