None of . tts predecessors survive today. Designed by Raymond F. Almirall, Public Bath No. 7 is a striking example of the nee-Renaissance style employed for many of the public baths constructed in New York City during the first decade of this century. Use of this style had the effect of giving the act of bathing as much importance as those activities conducted in such similarly styled buildings of the per- iod as banks and libraries; cleanliness was thereby promoted. -

Pagination in this blue-text section is not the same as that in original book thus page numbers referenced in text do not correspond to their position here, proper management of headers and footers being beyond my present skill set. 2.
