Bouwjaren 1925-1926
Middenin de Diamantbuurt werd in 1926 dit voormalig gemeentebadhuis geopend. Destijds hadden de huizen in de omgeving nog geen douches. Architect A.J. Westerman ontwierp het ronde gebouw in de stijl van de Amsterdamse School, met een aparte mannen-en vrouwenafdeling rondom acht stortbaden en twee badkuipen. Elke buurt had destijds een badhuis, maar eind jaren tachtig werd dit badhuis als een van de laatste gesroten.
