Govanhill Baths, Category B listed Edwardian bathhouse in Govanhill, Scotland.
Located at 99 Calder Street, the building contains three swimming pools, Turkish baths, and a traditional wash house known as the steamie.
The foundation stone was laid by Lord Provost Daniel Macaulay Stevenson in 1914, opening between 1912 and 1917 to serve local residents without indoor plumbing.
The facility transformed from a public bath into a community center, hosting poetry events, art exhibitions, and activities reflecting Govanhill's multicultural population.
The Govanhill Baths Community Trust operates from 126 Calder Street and manages the ongoing restoration project to create a modern wellness center.
In 2001, residents conducted the longest occupation of a public building in British history, lasting 143 days to protest against the baths' closure.
