Detail at rear of the Crotona Park swimming pool
bathhouse, June 2014. Besides the Ibis bird, note the fanciful brick work. A
page on the Parks
Department website says, “the bathhouse features animal-themed
sculptural elements (still visible today) created by Frederick George Richard
Roth that illustrate the WPA-funded art of the era.”
