The one-story red brick building with its limestone base and ornamental details is roughly cross-shaped in plan. The entrance block faces Asser Levy Place. Its front facade is strikingly accented by four pairs of free-standing columns which flank two entrances-one for each sex.
The Public Baths are an exceptionally handsome example of the neo-Classical Roman style of architecture. They employ an interesting contrast of materials and a wealth of carved detail, and enhance the site and the neighborhood. They have served a most necessary community function for many years and continue to do so as an indoor neighborhood swimming pool.
