From Gene Fiducia:

        The Morris Avenue Bath House was built in 1901.  In the picture above, to the left is the swimming pool building and at the right is the boiler room and showers.

        The small towels and a small bar of soap cost three cents.  Males swam nude and females were supplied a black one piece bathing suit.  Of course the pool was open on specific days for men or women.

        On Saturday mornings the pool was open to whites and afternoon to "coloreds", a segregated system at all the bath houses in Newark.

        Homes in the early 1900s were not all equipped with bath tubs or central heating.
