Description
Shown in 1915 are the Riverside Swimming Baths, located on a 15-acre swath facing the Sacramento River at Twelfth Avenue and Riverside Boulevard. Opened in 1909, one could swim the entire day by paying a mere 10 cents. The baths were warmed -- a refreshing 85 degrees -- by the wells of the Sacramento Natural Gas company, located just to the south of the baths.
