A long slide can be seen at the far end of the pool near a small set of stone steps. To the left of the pool, a drained pool can be seen. Iron struts support the arched ceiling four-stories above. Windows line hte far wall to the left and the wall in the background. Windows can also be seen on the arched roof. Legible signs include: "Positively no smoking, by order Board of Directors", "Bathers must not stand on this edge".
