At the intersection of Fanshawe Street, Sturdee Street and Customs Street East in Auckland City is this overpass bridge which leads to the viaduct and waterfront.

Underneath nearby is the old Auckland City Council Tepid Baths which is a public indoor pool complex. It opened in 1914 on a site that had previously been used by a small drydock. In the first 2 baths the baths attracted 30,000 visitors but in 2010 it closed for major renovations including structural issues and re-opened in 2012.
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

I remember the tepid baths.i went there several times with cousins who lived in Auckland. A long long time ago
It is a nice scene without traffic. The lines are great
I like your Auckland City Council Tepid Baths. We don't have them around here, not even in our state.

Amazing to think it's still there and not replaced with some modern characterless box.
Cool old building nicely framed!
Have you been inside?
...build bridges, not walls!
Nice photo, fantastic framing.
Great image! I really like this place. So much to capture if you navigate it carefully
Any trolls under that bridge?
Lovely old building Amy. Have a great week ahead.
