The Project began restoration of the historic building originally constructed 1890 and reconstructed 1906 for use as a public bath funded by the James Lick Estate and subsequently used as a steam laundry and most currently used as professional office and art gallery. The 10,500 sf two-story building is divided into two halves based on the original building parti for providing separate men’s and women’s bathing facilities. Restoration improvements designed and supervised by Ricky G. Mason, AIA for the Owner included removal of wood framed mezzanines and floor coverings added in the 1970’s, interior and exterior pointing of masonry, repair of exterior plaster, repair / replacement of metal and built-up roofing, replacement and glazing of skylight glass and painting.
