The construction of the swimming school, baths and laundry was decided by the municipal council in 1890. The design is the work of the hygienist engineer Edmond Philippe, of which this is the second example in the region. The building was rebuilt in 1923 after its destruction during the First World War. In brick, it is located at the corner of two streets.
