The first bath house in Mt. Clemens, called the ORIGINAL, was constructed in 1873 and marked the beginning of the city's fabulous bath era, the city later to become known as the "Bath City of America," and famous around the world.
The bath section was equipped with solid porcelain tubs of large size, the bath rooms partitioned with white Italian marble, the floors of vitreous tiling, all offering a high degree of beauty and sanitation.
