Simpson's Baths

Barrio Libre Historic District. Simpson's Baths was established near El Ojito (Little Eye Springs). Tubs were provided (men only) for 25 cents each. Bathing every day was thought to cause illness and was a "downright waste of water".

The mural is on the side of La Pilita Museum at 420 S. Main Ave., Tucson. The artist is Martin Moreno. The museum is on the national register. NRHP#78000565
