Photo: postcard in the collection of the VTBP The Turkish baths were a Christmas gift from Andrew Carnegie, the American steel magnate and philanthropist, to the people of the town where he was born. The outside of the building, in Classical Revival style, is faced in grey stone. Designed by the Edinburgh architect Hippolyte Jean Blanc, they were built at a cost of around £45,000. The foundation stone was laid on 16 July 1902, and the baths were opened almost three years later on 31 March 1905. |
