Statement of Significance

The Brunswick Baths complex is of local historical and architectural Significance. The baths have long been a key recreational focus for Brunswick, and was for many years host to the Victorian swimming championships. The Baths reflected the latest in swimming pool design and technology, and was once regarded as the finest complex of its type in Australia. The renovation of the Baths in 1927-in particular the construction of the notable Dawson Street facade- reflects a period of considerable redevelopment of Brunswick's public assets, and of the reshaping of the civic precinct in Sydney Road and Dawson Street.
