		Although the city’s earliest public bath houses had answered the reformers’ calls for an easily reproducible building type that could economically provide large numbers of people with sanitary facilities, later bath houses became increasingly luxurious, at least outwardly, as the City Beautiful movement made itself felt upon the architectural fabric of municipalities throughout the country.

		Bath houses were also seen as a means of integrating the large immigrant working–class population into the mainstream of American life, as the title of an article—“Americanization By Bath”—in the 1913 Literary Digest, underscores.
