This document partially fulfills the requirements for the Architectural Data Section, as described in NPS-28 (Cultural Resources Management Guidelines) since it concentrates only on the II Exterior building conditions" due to limited preparation time (6 weeks). This document should be read in conjunction with the Historical Data Section, Jacob Riis Park Historic District and the 1937 through 1982 drawings to get details of the bathhouse's physical history. The physical history is covered only in relation to the discussion of existing exterior fabric. Evolution and Existing Conditions drawings and photographs have been included to guide the reader through the building while evaluating its current conditions. Finally, recommendations and estimates for treating the building's problems are included, in addition to an appendices and bibliography to be used for further references.
