Lincoln Bathhouse
The Lincoln Bathhouse was established in 1915, converted from the abandoned Natural Carbonic Gas Company Plant. Although this bathhouse accommodated large numbers of patrons, it could not keep up with the demand, so construction of the Washington Bathhouse began. By 1920 both bathhouses were in operation and handling 2,500 treatments daily. After the Lincoln Bathhouse burned in 1928, a new and larger facility was constructed. It opened in 1930 with a capacity for 4,500 treatments a day. The New Spa flourished, offering the most up-to-date therapy techniques in an idyllic resort atmosphere. The Lincoln Bathhouse still offers mineral baths today.
Marker can be reached from South Broadway Ave. (New York Route 9), on the right when traveling south.
