BATHHOUSE-Salt Lake City once had a public bathhouse that drew visitors from across Utah and beyond to experience the so-called healing waters.
 
The building still stands at Warm Springs Park, located at 840 North Beck Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
 
To learn more about the site, FOX 13 Digital Reporter Shanti Lerner met with Sylvia Nibley, founder of the Warm Springs Alliance, a nonprofit working to protect and restore the area.
 
“This is one of the most important historic sites we have in the whole area,” Nibley said. “And a lot of people don’t know that. But this was — and still is — an Indigenous sacred site because of the hot springs that have been flowing here for thousands of years.”
 
Long before settlers arrived, the Ute, Shoshone and Goshute peoples gathered at the springs, honoring their healing properties and the land that sustained them.
 
By the 1820s, the area had been documented by fur trappers. Later, pioneers from the church Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints developed the site, building a modest public bathhouse in 1850. 

The springs soon gained a reputation for the healing qualities of their mineral-rich waters.
