Lurline Baths seen in an 1897 Thomas Edison film

The Lurline Baths were public salt water baths built in 1894 in San Francisco, California at the corner of Bush and Larkin streets. They closed in 1936. The Lurline Pier, built at Ocean Beach between Anza and Balboa Streets to protect the intake pipe which provided seawater to the Lurline Baths, existed until about 1966.

Owned by the Olympic Salt Water Company, the baths also included a swimming pool and water slide. The baths were immortalized by Thomas Edison on October 25, 1897 when he captured 30 seconds of film featuring scenes from the Lurline pool.
