Hamilton Fish pool on Pitt Street (Avenue C) near Houston
Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, one of Parks Department's
eleven 1936 WPA swimming pools. The pool (but not the bathhouse) was
designed by architect Aymur Embury II[1].

Embury adapted the original gymnasium building to locker rooms for the pool." Note: The 1898-1900 Play Center building is the landmark, not the pool.
