Bath House 1903

As part of its early development of the resort, the CPR built Ladies and Gents Bath or Change Houses in 1903, and Ladies and Gents Toilets. That season of improvements brought the development of athletic fields, “artificial amusements” and beach bathing. The bath houses later, after public complaints, rented bathing suits and towels by the hour or day and provided checking facilities for clothing. Gentlemen’s bathing suits and towels were rented for 15 cents per hour, ladies’ for 25 cents, and children’s for 10 and 15 cents.
