The Arlington Baths Club, Glasgow:
exterior façade, and inside the frigidarium, c.1900
In 1875 the club opened the fist of its four extensions to the building, a T-shaped Turkish bath suite. At the top left of the ‘T’ was the frigidarium, with benches and couches lining the walls, and loose-covered easy chairs in the centre.
As in the Swindon Turkish baths (p.179), the frigidarium was not directly connected with the hot rooms thereby necessitating the installation of its own fireplace.
