133 Allen Street Public Bath

Cost: $127,740

The Allen Street bath was located in what was, for most of the 20th Century, a red-light district. The bath was the final survivor of the 20 public baths, closing in 1975 during the city's financial crisis. The building was sealed in 1988, auctioned off in 1992, and as of this writing (Fall 2006) is home to the Church of Grace to Fujianese, a Chinese congregation.
