Marshall Street Baths

Marshall Street Baths is a public baths building constructed between 1928 and 1931 by architects A. W. S. and K. M. S. Cross. It features a steel-framed structure clad in red brick and stone, topped with a pantile roof and a ferro-concrete roof structure over the pools located at the back. The facade is designed in a 'Roman Renaissance' style and consists of three storeys, an attic storey, and a dormered pantile roof. The building is ten windows wide, with a left-hand section that breaks into three closely set windows, which are pedimented and quoined, topped by a belvedere that rises above. The ground floor is rusticated and features an arcade beneath a Doric entablature. The first floor has tall windows with architraves and cornices, along with apron panels, while the left-hand break includes a canted stone bay. The second floor has high-set square windows with architraves, and the attic storey above the main entablature is adorned with stone panels instead of windows, capped by an attic cornice. Notable interior features include two swimming pools with ferro-concrete barrel-vaults and marble-lined halls.
