PARK SWIMMING POOL AND BATH HOUSE SERVICE 
This new and modern bath house at Cal- 
houn Park, Minneapolis, was completed 
last July and the building is in every re- 
spect highly satisfactory and is probably 
as sanitary, well arranged and well 
equipped a bath house as there is in the 
country. The building contains : 
1. The men’s department, with 118 dress- 
ing rooms and 706 lockers. 
2. The women’s department, with 37 
dressing rooms and 210 lockers. 
3. The boys’ department, with 36 dress- 
ing rooms and 252 lockers. 
C 
4. The children’s department, in a sep- 
arate room, with 84 lockers. 
The first three have shower baths and 
inside toilet accommodations. There are 
also toilet rooms for both sexes accessible 
from the outside. Well arranged suit 
rooms are provided for each of the three 
departments, from where suits and towels 
are obtained by the bathers as they enter 
the courts, which, with the exception of 
the children’s department, are open over- 
head. A cashier’s office, a reception room, 
a refreshment counter and a well equipped 
emergency hospital room are provided. 
The basement contains a heating plant and 
a pump and compression tank delivering 
drinking water from a deep artesian well 
to seven drinking fountains distributed 
through the building and the terraces. 
The entire building is of a monolithic, 
concrete construction, dry mixture, and is 
of a very pleasing and imposing appear- 
ance. The dressers are built of steel 
frames, expanded metal and plaster, and 
the lockers are of steel, and standard size. 
The beach, which is 1,200 feet long and 
200 feet wide, was built from sand pumped 
out of the lake.
