House: The Bath House at 5 Coles Street in Van Vorst Park
11 units
The circa 1903 Rennaisance Revival building served as the city’s first public bath house for the growing Italian immigrant community. The craftsmanship involved in this carefully
carried out restoration is evident in the brick and limestone facade, which has
been gently cleaned and properly re-mortared; and in the double-pane glass windows
and iron railings that grace the front and return the long-abandoned building to
its former glory.
