Dr Louis F Eidam's Turkish Baths seem to have been open in the 1880s and 1890s at least, though no exact dates are known at present. This photo showing part of the reclining room (or cooling-room) is from a booklet published by Dr Eidam around that time called Valuable hints for bathers.

The baths were in a single storey building behind an office at the front, seen above.

Here, the words 'Eidam's Turkish Baths' can just be seen on the entrance door. The baths themselves are behind, and have an apex roof, with a decorative ventilator above. On the left can be seen the furnace chimney.

In addition to the hot rooms, there was a steam room, a plunge pool, and a wide range of treatments available. Bathers are advised that to 'secure the best results in the hot rooms' they 'should keep as quiet as possible, and avoid reading and earnest conversation.'

There were two days when the baths were available to women, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays the baths were open later than usual and, although they closed at midnight, bathers were 'allowed to recline until morning if they wish.'
