In 1911 the Maurice Bathhouse Company replaced an elegant but wooden Victorian building with the bathhouse that stands today. This Mediterranean style masonry structure set the standard for the other bathhouses on Bathhouse Row. Aquatic imagery appears throughout the building, with blue tiles accenting the roof lines and mythical sea creatures on the stained glass ceilings in the bath halls. The “Therapeutic Pool” sign recalls a once popular amenity, a large pool maintained in the basement. Influenced by the decorative arts and crafts style of the Roycrofter Movement, the Maurice Bathhouse also featured a wainscotted den with art glass ceiling panels and a cobblestone fireplace.
