Local history comes alive in this exquisitely renovated public bathhouse, which is a beautiful example of 1920s architecture. This museum was created to chronicle the history of the Gay Village, which is one of the city's oldest and most intriguing neighbourhoods. Through photos, artifacts and interviews, this museum focuses on the working class and the effects of industrialization in the area. A permanent exhibit touches on the history of the workers in the area, their families and the condition of their daily lives.
