Melbourne City Baths opened in 1904 as public baths with swimming pools and bathing facilities. It was extensively renovated in the early 1980s and is now considered one of Melbourne's most architecturally and historically significant buildings.
The Melbourne City Council opened the first City Baths to house public baths on 9 January 1860. The aim was to stop people bathing in the Yarra River, which had become quite polluted in the 1850s and sparked a typhus epidemic that ravaged the city and resulted in many deaths.
