Page "Fenwick Tower (Halifax)" Paragraph 14

Local lore suggests that the top two floors of the building were designed to contain a swimming pool ; however, the pool was never completed.

Again, local lore suggests that engineers and architects never took into account the weight of water in the pool, so it was unable to be filled.

The top-floor swimming pool is one of the more popular myths about Fenwick Tower.

In fact, after taking over the project, Dalhousie decided that the cost of installing repeater pumps throughout the building to pump the water to the top would be prohibitively expensive, and scrapped the idea of the pool before construction reached that phase.
