I remember the swim club as immediately west of the channel on Peterson Ave adjacent to the Mc Donalds. According to aerial photos it was gone by 1972 and is now park land. Tower was extremely popular in the early 60, but I have no recollection of the interior.

Thanks for confirming the location. Where can I see a pre-1972 aerial photograph of the location?

The pics are available at historicaerials.com. The address for the club was 3201 W Peterson. Hope this is helpful.
