Sherbrook Pool was erected as a relief project during the Great Depression. The building's straight edges, symmetry, and subdued ornamentation are characteristic of the Art Deco style popular in North America during the 1930s.The set-back entrance at the northern end is highlighted by stone surround and incised lettering. The pool occupies much of the basement level, along with locker, shower, boiler, machinery, and fuel rooms. A lobby, front desk and committee room, all with terrazzo tile, are on the main floor. Wooden seating takes up the north, east and west sides of the second level. In 1991-92,citizens successfully rallied against a proposal to demolish the building.
