Hale Bathhouse Details
The current incarnation of the Hale Bathhouse - at least the fourth building to use this name - is the oldest visible structure on Bathhouse Row. Most of the building dates to 1892, with a significant renovation in 1914 that modified the style to Classical Revival. The building was redesigned again in 1939 in the Mission Revival style. Named for early bathhouse owner John Hale, the first building was built in 1854, and likely burned down during the Civil War. The present-day building has 12,000 square feet on two main floors. The hot spring water flows into the basement, where it is captured in a tile enclosure. The Hale was also once connected to a thermal cave, carved out of the mountain and used in the 1890s. The Hale closed on Oct. 31, 1978, and remains closed to the public.
