The South wing of the
Orchard Beach
Bathhouse. Before the bathhouse was closed in 2007, the alcoves on the
bottom contained concessions such as snack bars, as you can see
in the
next image. The discoloration is due
to a reaction between the cheap concrete used in the construction (since the
objective was to employ the largest possible number of workers) and the salt
spray coming off Pelham Bay.
