File consists of an image of Cooper's Trailer Courts taken from the back deck of the bath houses, looking down MacIntosh St. toward the harbour. The trailers appear to be occupied given that that doors and windows are open and a tricycle is sitting beside one of them. A few houses on MacIntosh can be seen in the background, as can housing developments on the other side of the harbour. 102-39-1-986

File consists of several views of Herbert (known as Bert) Cooper's pool and bath houses, which appear derelict. According to the building inspector's captions on the back of the prints, images 174.1-174.2 and 174.5-174.7 show the front elevation of the building and the pool; 174.3 and 174.8-174.11 show the rear elevation of the building; and 174.12 shows the east elevation. Image 174.4 is taken from the south-east corner of the building and overlooks what appears to be a lot for heavy machinery with houses in the distance. See file 102-39-1-785 for earlier images of Cooper's Pool, one of which pictures the pool when it was still operational. According to City Council minutes from Sept. 13, 1962, Bert Cooper offered to sell his pool to the city, and his offer was then referred to the Recreation and Playgrounds Commission for a "report on the feasibility of acquiring the site for other purposes" (see Council Minutes from Sept. 13, 1962 in file 102-1a). Cooper's Pool isn't listed in the directory after 1963. 102-39-1-174
