Carpet is a natural acoustical wave absorber (not keeping outside sounds from coming in, but instead helping keep inside room sounds inside by breaking up the sound waves). This was probably less of an interior design and more a functional one for guest comfort although the real effectiveness of it could only be proven or disproven by the Mythbuster's crew. Hey, I just gave them a new show idea to test!

Eight feet deep is plenty deep enough for head first diving, especially without a diving board. Of course here the no diving was probably just a liability CYA no diving in pool period rule more than any real danger of breaking your neck diving into the three foot shallow area. So if you couldn't dive, there was always the jacknife backsplash to make the dry loungers behind you wet!

Queue up Logan's Run and your being "reincarnated" when you hit age 30. Seriously though, that was several hundred dollars worth of multi-use scaffolding sitting in there at the time. So someone was in there regularly but wasn't worried about the hardware theft. I wonder if they planned on disassembling and taking down that massive ceiling fixture. It is cool looking.

The beams & ceiling look here, reminds me of a very famous resort pool area, which sadly is no longer standing... Grossinger's.

Interesting walkway, the angle & the lighting too. I see a lamp down a bit, so both that & the lights on the wall will have Mica tickled pink, like the color of the walls here.

The buckle in the wall there is crazy, just, wow.

The red carpet made me think of this image...

... this is not as creepy though. Brightly lit & some can lights for Mica too.

People were a lot smaller (thinner) back then than they are today. These were likely two-person seats. Drive any old classic coupe from decades ago and the seats in it makes you feel like you are in a toy car for kids.

One can only fathom what is on his mind.

I'd love to see kids of today, try to make a call on one of these.

Carpet goes on the floor only, not on walls or ceilings. A fad I'll never understand & hope never returns.

Thank you again, Motts, for such an awesome new gallery to enjoy.

Looks like a UFO over the teepee there.
