Located just round the corner from Grafton Street, these baths seem to have opened in May 1888 as a Turkish bath for ladies, advertising themselves as having 'high temperature, perfect ventilation, skilled shampooing'. They cost one shilling during the day and ninepence during the evening.1

By the beginning of the following year, the baths were open to men as well as women, and they were offering a reduced price to clergyman and doctors.2 A few months later bathers could also obtain coffee and cake for an additional 4d.3

Appropriately enough, the baths were housed in 'the bath and sponge warehouse', where Sloane's Shilling Bath Sponges could be obtained for fourteen postage stamps, and a sponge bag for eleven.4
