These two Victorians once looked identical, but the one on the right has been stripped of most of its Victorian touches around the windows and the roof-line, and looks to be covered by asbestos. In the next slide from 2012, it has been 're-Victorianized' while its sedate neighbor to the left, has completely changed. The house on the left, from 1980 to 2008, was a female-only bathhouse called Oscento, which closed when the owner wanted to retire. The front parlor had lockers for clothes with showers beyond that, and then a room with a soaking pool. In the garden were two round cedar saunas, one with steam and one dry. No sex was allowed, but unlike Kabuki Spa, talking was permitted - it became a great place to meet women.
