That's another one of those little houses that went down to the water's edge, so the ladies could change & enter the water in modesty. Only this one is for Royalty!! I could LIVE in that comfortably, I think-

This is one of the MOST unique pics I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. How unique, how interesting, how beautyful this would have been in color. I'd look at it as a dream home. Wow! to be sitting on the front porch while your house moves to the waterfront then when the tide comes in you back away from the ocean. I would only wish the gods produce such a place to live in!

San Sebastian was Maria Cristina regent's summer place in the late 19th and the first years of the 20th (that tradition was started by Isabel II, continued by Alfonso XII and XIII ). In that picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/george_eastman_h ouse/2678372526/ you will find her palace (center in the left). This attracted a lot of aristocrats from the royal court, so the beaches of San Sebastian were full of bath houses. This one is the Royal Bath House. Is interesting to see that its oriental style (moroccan) is similar to other buildings of that era, the Belle Epoque, such as the casino of Sant Feliu de Guixols (Girona).

There's no obvious chimney, so steam is out. Anyway, you'd need one on each side or, more likely, a big one in the central (chamberlain's?) cabin.

Servants pedalling in each hut are unlikely, for royal privacy reasons.

There's a cable running between the tracks from the extreme foreground to the middle of the bathhouse's undercarriage, then splitting off to each side. The cable and its supports look too weak for reeling the cabin in and out from a winch up on the beach, but I could be wrong.

So it's gotta be electricity, then. A heavy-duty power cable running to the sea seems a recipe for ¡FAIL! so it's more likely a control line from the left and right electric motors to a station up the beach staffed by a servant. it might be better to have one motor and a driveshaft for the left and right carriages, but the driveshaft adds weight, and anyway a single motor would have to weigh almost as much as two separate motors in order to drive the bathhouse.

After all that, WiFi (discrete-packet aetheric telegraphy) access would be a piece of cake.

If I recall correctly, King Alfonso had a reputation for being a bit of a geek, so this contrivance was definitely his kind of thing.

More than necessary for any of the above-mentioned purposes.
Maybe it could work for sneaking in wetbacks.
