01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Club Baths was the Detroit location of a national chain of gay bathhouses that began in Cleveland in 1965. In 1979 it was one of five gay men's bathhouses operating in Detroit, and a commenter on the Detroit Gay History blog remembered it as the most technologically advanced of them. As the AIDS crisis grew, it closed by the mid-1980s, like every Detroit bathhouse except TNT. Its street address and exact years are not recorded.
