Historical Gardens

You can still see part of the cattle tank that was installed in 1938. It sat on a concrete base and was used every summer as a swimming pool before the water was released to irrigate the surrounding gardens.
The Porters had their own well, as did many residents in the 1930s. Eventually the dropping water table made it necessary to shut off the private supply and join the city system.

Draining and cleaning the pool was a yearly ritual for the family.
