After a long-awaited restoration, the historic Jacob Riis Bathhouse in New York City's Coney Island is set to reopen its doors next month. The stunning Art Deco bathhouse, named after the famous Danish-American journalist and social reformer Jacob Riis, has been closed since 2011 due to structural concerns. Following a $60 million renovation, the bathhouse is expected to be restored to its former glory, featuring its original stunning architecture and amenities. As one of the last remaining bathhouses from Coney Island's heyday, the Jacob Riis Bathhouse's reopening is a significant milestone in the area's revitalization efforts, promising to bring back a piece of the city's rich history and culture.
