Bains Lillois, Public bath in Lille, France.

The Bains Lillois features a neoclassical facade with four columns of pink marble supporting a frieze topped by a balustrade balcony.

Constructed between 1890 and 1892 by architect Albert Baert, the establishment contained 270 cabins and three distinct swimming pools for different skill levels.

The facility introduced water polo to France and hosted two pioneering swimming clubs, including the Pupilles de Neptune de Lille, the country's first water polo club.

The building closed in 1981 due to safety standards, and in 1998 the structure was converted into offices while preserving the historical facade.

In 1924, artist Alfred Labille created specialized stained glass windows for the bath house, adding artistic elements to this public facility.
