The building and its <br />setting embody the ideals of park <br />design that emphasized harmony <br />with the natural landscape through <br />sensitive siting and the use of native <br />building materials and rustic architec- <br />tural forms. The lake and shoreline, <br />which are included as a contributing <br />site, constitute the historic setting, <br />which is integral to the historic <br />character and function of the bath- <br />house. A reasonable limit of 175 feet <br />from the lakeshore was used to define <br />the National Register boundaries. <br />25 <br />
