Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium
Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium, Public bath in Marquette Park, United States.
The Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium features Prairie School and Neoclassical architectural elements constructed with six basic precast concrete modular blocks.
Architect George Washington Maher designed this structure in 1921, which later gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
The facility transformed from a community bathhouse into a museum celebrating aviation pioneers and the Tuskegee Airmen who advanced military integration.
Located at One Marquette Drive in Miller Beach, the aquatorium provides exhibits about flight history and overlooks Lake Michigan's shoreline.
The Chanute Aquatorium Society created the term 'aquatorium' in 1991 to describe this structure as a place for viewing water rather than a bathhouse.
