The Champagne Bath, officially the Champagne Fitness Centre, is a historic public bath in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 321 King Edward Avenue in Lower Town. Originally, the structure was built for the greater hygiene of the largely working class residents of the neighbourhood, many of whom had no baths in their homes. The structure was also originally home to a library. Work began on the building in 1921 and it was completed in 1924. The building, a blend of the Spanish Colonial Revival and Prairie Styles, was designed by Werner Ernst Noffke. It was named after Ottawa mayor Napoléon Champagne. It was Ottawa's first municipal swimming pool and was one of the first indoor pools in Canada. The pool was also unusual in that it used salt water, which meant it did not need to be chl

  • The Champagne Bath, officially the Champagne Fitness Centre, is a historic public bath in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 321 King Edward Avenue in Lower Town. Originally, the structure was built for the greater hygiene of the largely working class residents of the neighbourhood, many of whom had no baths in their homes. The structure was also originally home to a library. Work began on the building in 1921 and it was completed in 1924. The building, a blend of the Spanish Colonial Revival and Prairie Styles, was designed by Werner Ernst Noffke. It was named after Ottawa mayor Napoléon Champagne. It was Ottawa's first municipal swimming pool and was one of the first indoor pools in Canada. The pool was also unusual in that it used salt water, which meant it did not need to be chlorinated. It was soon followed by the Plant Bath, which was built on the western side of town. It was segregated by sex until 1967 with separate ground level entrances for women and men. While popular for many years, usage declined as the facility aged. In the 1980s, after the completion of the Le Patro facility, the city proposed closing the Champagne Bath. After public protest it was decided to renovate instead, at the cost of some two million dollars. The transformed facility opened in 1990. (en)
  • «Шампанская баня», англ. Champagne Bath, в настоящее время — фитнес-центр «Шампань», англ. Champagne Fitness Center — историческая баня в г. Оттава, Канада. Здание расположено в доме 321 по Кинг-Эдвард-авеню в районе Лоуэртаун. Изначально здание было сооружено в связи с тем, что у многих жителей района Лоуэртаун, где в то время преобладали рабочие, не было собственных ванн дома. Также в здании первоначально размещалась библиотека. Сооружение началось в 1921 г. и было завершено в 1924 г. Архитектура здания сочетает стили испанского колониального возрождения и стиль прерий. Спроектировал здание архитектор Вернер Эрнст Ноффке. Название бань связано не с шампанским, а с именем мэра г. Оттава Наполеона Шампаня. Здесь появился первый в Оттаве муниципальный плавательный бассейн, один из первых закрытых бассейнов в Оттаве. Бассейн был необычен тем, что был наполнен солёной водой, а не хлорированной. Вскоре после Шампанской бани на западе города была сооружена баня Планта, названная в честь следующего мэра. До 1967 г. в бане было два разных входа, для мужчин и женщин, ведущих на разные этажи. По мере старения здания его популярность снижалась. В 1980-е гг., после сооружения новой бани Le Patro, городские власти даже предлагали закрыть баню, однако после публичных протестов было решено реставрировать её. Реставрация обошлась в сумму около 2 млн долларов. Здание открылось после реставрации в 1990 г. В нём размещён фитнес-центр, который посещают около 45000 человек в год, что всё ещё недостаточно для полной окупаемости. (ru)
