NEW HOLMES SQUARE BATH
HOUSE.
Something To Be Thankful For.
NEW HOLMES SQUARE BATH HOUSE.
The spacious and sightly Holmes Square bath house will be opened formally to the use of the poorer classes in the park limits tomorrow. Fourteen thousand dollars has been spent on the structure and furnishings.
The building is in the northwest corner of the park, its frontage being south. It is of solid brick construction, the exterior being veneered with buff colored Bedford stone. There are separate entrances for males and females. The bathing facilities are of the shower type, and are supplied with hot and cold water.
The proportions of the building are 65 feet in length and 29 in width. On the west side is the bath room for women and girls. It is 24x23 feet, and has five individual showers and one general shower. There are lockers for clothing, toilet and other accessories.
A broad lobby, in which are the reception rooms and offices, divides the men and women bathing rooms. The room for the men is in the east end of the building. It is 24x31 feet and has eight individual showers and one general shower.
The second floor is given over to a gymnasium, play rooms for the children, reading rooms and rooms for the directors.
