63rd Street Bathing Pavilion, Beach pavilion in Jackson Park, Chicago, United States.
The 63rd Street Bathing Pavilion extends 460 feet in length and 145 feet in width, featuring four corner structures with pyramidal roofs and wide overhangs.
Constructed in 1919 by South Park Commission architects, the pavilion drew inspiration from the classical buildings of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
The pavilion represents early 20th century public recreational architecture with its classical design elements, including pilasters, balustrades, and a two-story loggia.
The building contains enclosed courtyards that originally provided changing facilities and showers for over 5,900 visitors, with separate areas for men and women.
The structure utilizes porous concrete, known as popcorn concrete or marblecrete, which provided durability while enabling rapid construction at lower costs.
