Description

May 4 Montréal The Sauna David was destroyed by fire just twelve days after it was raided by police. Arson was suspected, although no one was charged. This was the third time in recent years that a Montréal gay bathhouse had been destroyed by fire shortly after being raided by police (others were the Sauna Aquarius, in 1975, and the Club Baths Montreal, in 1976).
