Former “Queer” Bath House, 32 W. 28th Street, New York
As you can tell from this early twentieth century post card, it probably didn’t take James Everard long to establish a robust clientele of lifetime bachelors in the day and age of the unsaid and unspeakable…
The baths would eventually go from Turkish to Roman to Electric to “Greek” style and would last well into the mid twentieth century.
Fortunately, the building is still extant at 32 West 28th Street, New York City.
