Description
Stallworth Lake was a recreational lake that was located at the foot of River Hill. The lake, which was built in 1918, had sliding boards, spring boards, diving towers, floating rafts, boating, a merry-go-round, and a miniature zoo. It became a city landfill in 1948.
This photo shows the area covered with snow. In the foreground is the mechanism used to drain the lake water into the Black Warrior River in the winter. The contributor of the photo says that he was told that 16 springs ran into Stallworth Lake to fill it. It had an overflow that took excess water into the river.
