Continental Baths
The Continental Baths was a gay bathhouse in the basement of The Ansonia Hotel in New York City which was opened in 1968 by Steve Ostrow. It was advertised as reminiscent of "the glory of ancient Rome." The documentary film ''Continental'', by Malcolm Ingram, covers the height of the club's popularity through the early 1970s.
==Facilities==
The features of this bathhouse included a disco dance floor, a cabaret lounge, sauna rooms, a narrow "Olympia blue" swimming pool, bunk beds in public areas, and tiny rooms as one would find in any gay bathhouse. In the bathroom there was a dispenser of mouthwash. It had the capacity to serve nearly 1,000 men, 24 hours a day.
One gay guide from the 1970s described the Continental Baths as a place that "revolutionized the bath scene in New York."〔 quote used from p200〕
Some features of the Continental Bathhouse included a warning system that tipped off patrons when police arrived. There were also an STD clinic, a supply of (A200 ) (a lice-killing shampoo) in the showers, a mouthwash dispenser, and K-Y Jelly in the candy vending machine.
