Produktbeschreibung
Bathhouse Row, located in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, is a collection of bathhouses in the town of Hot Springs, Arkansas. The bathhouses were included in 1832 when the Federal Government took over four parcels of land to preserve 47 natural hot springs, their mineral waters lacking the sulphur smell of most hot springs, and their area of origin on the lower slopes of Hot Springs Mountain. The bathhouses are the third and fourth generations of bathhouses along Hot Springs Creek, and some sit directly over the hot springs the resource for which the area was set aside as the first federal reserve in 1832. The bathhouses are an excellent collection of turn-of-the-century eclectic buildings in neoclassical, renaissance-revival, Spanish, and Italianate styles, aligned in a linear pattern with formal entrances, outdoor fountains, promenades, and other landscape-architectural features. The buildings also are illustrative of the popularity of the spa movement in the United Statesin the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
