Battling Bathers

Mt. Clemens' days as a bathing resort may be far in the past, but they are still remembered there in the sports teams of the local high school, who are known to this day as the Mt. Clemens Battling Bathers.

Wood Road

Interesting road construction being logs placed in the ground vertically as opposed to a typical horizontal plank road. I can't remember the term for this type of construction. Maybe someone else knows.

Burning and Bathing

Go hand in hand at least in the history of this establishment: http://www.mtclib.org/local%20history/original%20bath%20house.pdf

I wonder

...when it burned?

The Egnew

"The scene of all this gaiety was to burn later--the fate of many of Mount Clemens's early hotels, most of which were of
frame construction." - Prior to 1910

And here's a photo of the other end of the elevated walkway.
