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.
In this photograph Stallworth Lake lies beneath a layer of snow. In the distance is the Black Warrior River with the lift bridge crossing it from Northport. In the distance off to the left is the railroad trestle that crosses the river. In the foreground is the Burchfield Hotel and behind it, Tuscaloosa Produce Company.
