Capo's Bath House was a structure that appeared in many images of the Saint Augustine, Florida waterfront during 1870–1914.
It appears in a sketch from 1875 that shows a wood building on a stone foundation across the street from the Old Spanish Prison and the residence of George H Emery.
Dressing rooms were provided to change from formal clothing to swim attire.
[1] In a 1934 interview with the Saint Augustine Record, Ocean View Hotel proprietor Henry E Hernandez described the Bath House: The proprietor was Philip V Capo (1844-1901), who was a Saint Augustine native descended from Minorcan colonists.
It was managed for many years by Adolphus N Pacetty (1829-1913), who was also a Minorcan descendant and a Confederate veteran.
