Does anyone know where this baths was? (Or these baths were?!) I cannot find any reference to indoor baths in Sydney, except for at Dawes Point. Ironwork looks c.1890, but there are electric lamps, so possibly later? See Newcastle Municipal Baths -

Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial in the midst of construction which would date the photo to 1927. Sadly, the Waikiki Natatorium has suffered years of deterioration and neglect and is now closed. Hopefully, the will and funds to preserve and restore it will be found before it is too far gone. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waikiki_Natatorium_War_Memorial
