You don't have to be Married to come to the Wall Street Sauna.
Offset lithograph poster, 355x515 mm, 14x20 1/8. Circa 1980s.
The Wall Street Sauna opened in 1974. Situated close to the New York Stock Exchange it was where "businessmen go to get their rocks off during the lunch hour (it's called "funch")" (The Village Voice, September 27, 1976). The bath house survived long after the other gay bath houses were shut down by the city, and ultimately closed in 2004.
Condition B / B+: thumb-tack holes in corners with associated rust stains; loss in upper right corner; staining in image. Printed on thick paper.
