Division Street Russian and Turkish Baths, Historic bathhouse in Wicker Park, Chicago, United States
The Division Street Russian and Turkish Baths features separate facilities for men and women, with concrete and tile construction housing traditional steam rooms and cold pools.
Established in 1906, this bathhouse served Chicago's Eastern European community before closing in 2010 and reopening as Red Square in 2011 after renovations.
Writers Nelson Algren and Saul Bellow documented their experiences at this establishment, while Reverend Jesse Jackson frequently visited the traditional bathhouse.
The facility at 1914 W. Division Street contains three-tiered wooden benches in the hot rooms, allowing guests to choose their preferred temperature level.
Granite boulders heated by gas jets in brick ovens create steam when splashed with water, maintaining traditional Russian bathing practices in modern Chicago.
