Griffin, Mrs. L. E.'s Lily Pool in Harrison County
Date:
undated
Description:
Portrait of Mrs. L.E. Griffin sitting next to her lily pool in Harrison County. Caption reads 'I built 4 foot by 9 foot by 30 inch deep pool in front of a clump of shrubbery on a bank to give it a natural setting. The bottom and sides were cemented, with a shelf built in each end for shallow water plants. From the water line the back and sides were laid up of native stones, stones also circling the front. I did most of the work herself - my husband helped dig out the last few wheelbarrows of dirt, and was home long enough to smoothe down the last of the cement. A boy helped mix the cement. As soon as it was finished I filled it with water to set till spring, using a rubber hose from a faucet in cellar - have it drained the same way. I learned from her mother that a long stick placed in a rain barrel would keep it from bursting when frozen. It also works with a lily pool. While cement was setting I planted perennials and Dutch bulbs in front of shrubbery and around the pool. It has been a mass of bloom from crocus and grape hyacinth time until now (Sept. 30) when dwarf marigolds, petunias, etc. are in their glory.'

Highway 250 across the Tygarts Valley River. Veteran of the Civil War, it was the first bridge captured, and was used throughout the war by troops of both armies.
