| Sumario: | "A century ago Hot Springs, Arkansas, was a world-renowned resort city. Today, the town remains the most unique city in Arkansas but with much of its Victorian-to-1950s views nearly unrecognizable. 'Hot Springs: Past and Present' shows vividly the before and after of hundreds of sites, answering questions such as "What used to be on this corner?" and "What was here before it was a parking lot?" The answer to those questions is often an opulent hotel, a theater, a bath-house, a gambling house, or a mansion. Fire destroyed many buildings, even more were demolished, and some sites remain not so unlike they used to be. 'Hot Springs: Past and Present' makes a perfect walking companion for anyone visiting the town and wishing to learn more about this one-of-a-kind place through not only the photographs, but also the informative text that provides a good overview of the town's history."--Page 4 of cover. |
