Piscine des Amiraux

The Amiraux building and swimming pool are a residential building housing a public swimming pool, built by Henri Sauvage between 1922 and 1927 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, on Rue des Amiraux and Rue Hermann-Lachapelle.

They form part of the architectural research aimed at building affordable but 'hygienic' housing. Wikipedia ↗

In the Municipal Bulletin

The Bulletin municipal only records the Amiraux pool over about a dozen years, from 1965 to 1976, mostly through maintenance decisions. In January 1965, a glazing contract was awarded to Messrs Thomas and Harrisson at a lump-sum price of 24,400 francs; in July 1973, a piping contract went to Messrs Botte père et fils for 58,000 francs. In between, in February 1969, Michel Salles, Claude Estier and Pierre Seince addressed an oral question without debate to the Prefect of Paris on the pool's operating conditions, of which the Bulletin records only the title. In June 1976, the facility reappears in a credit account: against a second credit of 10 million were charged the construction expenses for the Amiraux pool as well as bath-houses on Avenue Mathurin-Moreau and Rue Saint-Merri, for a total of 7,383,726 francs.
