Public Bath No. 7 is a historic bathhouse located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City. It was designed by Brooklyn architect Raymond F. Almirall. [2] It was built between 1906 and 1910 and is constructed of white glazed brick and limestone colored terracotta blocks. The design is based on a Renaissance palazzo. It measures three bays by five bays. The bathhouse was converted to a gymnasium in 1937. [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

In the 1990s, it was converted to a private events space and renamed The Lyceum. [2]

The building was placed for sale at a foreclosure auction in early 2013; [4] [5] the next year, Greystone acquired the building for $7.6 million. [6] [7] The previous owner, Eric Richmond, filed a lawsuit in 2015, claiming that the building had illegally been auctioned even after he had appealed a bankruptcy judge's ruling to auction the property. [8] [9]

In 2017, the building finished restoration. [2] The building was sold for $10 million in 2018; at the time, it contained a Blink Fitness location. [10] [11]
