GARDEN BATH HOUSES 



the pool, with broad shelter and convenient seats be- 

 neath the latticed and vine-draped roofs. 



In Ghent, the quaint old Flemish city of Belgium, 

 there are bath houses and accessories of famous 

 swimming pools that have been eagerly reproduced 

 in this country. The designs are the work of Mr. 

 William De Vos, of Ghent, and they are typically 

 continental in their general layout and arrangement. 

 In these designs the large open space is surrounded 

 by a gallery or promenade. And the gallery, which 

 is supported by Ionic columns, is attractively roofed 

 or covered with vines. The dressing rooms on each 

 side of the pool are within these galleries, and 'deco- 

 rative seats complete this ornamental adjunct of the 

 swimming pool. The general plan of these more 

 elaborate types may readily serve as suggestions for 

 building inexpensive bath houses, with pergola 

 screening instead of galleries.
