Thank you to Robin for sharing the photos and story.
Large, two-story bathhouse building, that was used as a gathering place for locals to sauna. There’s a men’s side and a separate woman’s side along with a waiting room and changing room for both sides. The upstairs was rented out to miners on a nightly basis, which the brick flu from the sauna stove helped to heat.
Unique triangular light for both the changing and hot rooms
The sauna hot room; repurposed keg to hold water
Lever on the celling between the two wash areas that creates an opening in the ceiling so the heat can warm the upstairs
There was a mens and women’s side
Lodging was upstairs

The daughters and mother would bottle beverages and offer them for sale to those that came to take sauna. When their father, who was a logger, wasn’t there, they would load the wood from the woodshed and get the sauna ready for the towns people/customers.
