Finnila's Finnish Baths
Finnila's Finnish Baths - a.k.a. ''Finnila's'' - was a Finnish bathhouse and a health club in San Francisco, California in USA. It served the general public from circa 1910 to September, 2000. For approximately seven and a half first decades of its existence, ''Finnila's'' was located in the Castro District of San Francisco.〔(Edna Jeffrey Biography and synopsis of her novel, ''Till I'm with You Again'' ).〕
==Migration from Finland==

In 1902, Matti Finnila (Finnish spelling: Finnilä) – born August 23, 1885 –, the future founder of Finnila's Finnish Baths, immigrated from Kalajoki, Finland to Los Angeles, California. In Los Angeles, Matti Finnila learned the skill of bricklaying. In 1906, the San Francisco earthquake inspired Matti Finnila to move to San Francisco, to help rebuild the city.〔〔(''Lutheran Church of the Cross'' - homepage ).〕
In San Francisco, Matti Finnila met Alexandra (Sandra) Lantta from Ullava, Finland. The couple married and settled to live in the San Francisco's heavily Finnish-populated Castro District. Matti Finnila became a ''"brick building contractor"'' in 1910 (1910-1933) and in 1913 he opened a Finnish-style sauna club, Finnila's Finnish Baths, for the general public. It was the ''"first Finnish steam bath"'' business in the San Francisco Bay Area.〔〔
In 1932, Finnila's continued business at a new, large bathhouse on San Francisco's Market Street, one block westbound from the previous location. A study published in 1949, written by Oskari Tokoi, John Suominen and Henry Askeli, described Finnila's as the ''"most modern & largest steam bath in U.S."''.〔 In 1977, the San Francisco magazine pointed out that Finnila's was ''"the oldest and most well-known of all Bay Area baths"'', and ''"for many years it was the only non-gay bathhouse available"''.〔
