For many years in the late nineteenth century, Brighton was Melbourne's favourite seaside destination. Brighton is located in the City of Bayside, which has 17 km of foreshore to Port Phillip Bay. Nestled on Dendy Street Beach, the Brighton bathing boxes are a popular Bayside icon and cultural asset.
The 82 Brighton bathing boxes are unique because of their uniform scale and proportion, building materials, sentry order alignment and a Planning Scheme Heritage Overlay on a beach owned by Bayside City Council. As simple structures, all retain classic Victorian architectural features with timber framing, weatherboards and corrugated iron roofs. They remain as they did over one hundred years ago, as licensed bathing boxes. No service amenities such as electricity or water are connected.

Hi Liz. Thank you for visiting. I like the pretty and colourful bathing boxes. The bathing boxes didn't look like they are over one hundred years old.
Hi Liz, I am now following you and invite you to follow me too. Thank you. Have a beautiful day!

Very quaint and colorful.
Do people rent these? By the day, week, etc?
Oh those bathing boxes are quite charming, now what if something like those could be built for the homeless of the world, what beauty would extend even further~

Those bathing boxes are really cool, and probably fun to photograph!
