Was located at the Junction of Gutzlaff Street and Chuk Hing Lane, Central District, opened in 1949. It was a two-story building which covered an area of 190 m2, ground floor for male, and first floor for female users. It had a rectangular shape with the smaller side facing Gutzlaff Street. It’s shown on the 1975 map below:
On this photo from 2012 the bathhouse can be seen, it’s the beige coloured two-storey building on the right. Male entrance from Gutzlaff Street, female via Chuk Hing Lane.
Houses on both sides of Gutzlaff Street stood there still in 2014, see this photo from December 2014. It was taken from the mid-level escalator showing Gage Street. Today, only the house at the junction of Cochrane and Gage Streets (7-eleven store) is still there.
It is not clear when the bathhouse was demolished, it still appears on maps from mid-2018. It was probably demolished end of 2018.
