Perth City Baths

[1] During his 1881 sojourn in Perth, exhibition impresario, Jules Joubert, had recommended that the City consider a public bath.

The ornate Moorish style building was opened on 5 March 1898 by the Mayor of Perth, Alexander Forrest and was leased to the Perth City Council.

[3] Costing £2600, equivalent to A$470,300 in 2022, with government support, the mostly jarrah building had four towers capped by cupolas and was designed by G.R.

Debate about the location had included discussion of the possibility of being able to see into the baths from Kings Park, into the change rooms.

The Perth baths were partially demolished in 1917, and completely removed by 1920.
