Lamar Bathhouse Details

Named in honor of the former U. S. Supreme Court Justice Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, the Lamar Bathhouse opened in 1923, replacing a wooden Victorian structure. The Spanish-style stone, brick and stucco building was unique in its day for offering a range of tub lengths for various-sized visitors. There was also a small co-ed gymnasium and a separate area for women. The lobby was the largest of the eight bathhouses on Bathhouse Row; murals and stenciling were added in the 1920s to give the lobby a European feel. The bathhouse closed in November of 1985, and now holds offices for park employees as well as the park store, Bathhouse Row Emporium. Lamar Bathhouse is fully accessible.
