Govanhill Baths is an Edwardian Baths and Wash-House designed by A. B. McDonald, formally opened on 3rd July 1917. The baths represent a ‘beautiful example of early 20th century civic architecture’ and are ‘the most substantially intact example of a municipal bath house in Glasgow.’ In January 2001, Glasgow City Council announced their closure, in response, the Save Our Pool – Southside Against Closure group was formed. Members of the group occupied the building on 21st March for 140 days. In late 2004 the Govanhill Baths Community Trust was formed to campaign to reopen the Baths. In 2020 the Baths are closed for Phase 1b redevelopment, which will see the reopening the baths as a health & wellbeing centre for all.
