There is a city here in Arkansas called Hot Springs. There are naturally occurring thermal springs there. It is one of the oldest cities here in Arkansas. Around the turn of the century, people would come here to bathe in the waters. They believed it had healing powers.
The bath houses were built. Some date back to the late 1800's. You could get a hot bath, a massage, shower, sauna, and other spa services.
There were giant rooms that had stalls with the tubs in them or the showers in them. The design of
these buildings were just amazing. The architecture of the buildings are all unique and beautiful.
All but two of them are closed.
Fordyce Bath House has been restored to it's original beauty. You can go through there because it is a museum. There are 4 floors to it. In this one, you can go down and visit the basement , you wioll see the pipes and all that is involved in the plumbing as far as getting the water from the springs to the individual bath and shower. There is also a place where you can see one of the springs that runs below the city. I think the elevator is fairly new, but they still have the doors that you have to close yourself from the period.
The other one that is still in use is called Buckstaff. It is still open for the famous baths of Hot Springs. All of them had a large front porch on them where people could relax after the baths. In Fordyce Bath House, you can down into the basement and see the pipes and all that is involved in the plumbing as far as getting the water from the springs to the individual bath and shower.

En Arkansas, il y a une ville appelée Hot Springs. Il exsite de nombreuses sources thermales naturelles, dans cette ville qui est l’une des plus vieille de l’Arkansas. Au debut du, les gens venaient se baigner dans ces souces auquelles ils attribuaient des vertues medicale.
Les maisons de bain ont été construites. Certains remontent au debut des années 1800. Dans ces batiments vous avez acces a des bains chaud, des massages, des douches et sauna, Bref pleins de “produits” des stations thermales.
Certaines salles sont gigantesques, des baignoires / hot pot ainsi que des douches y sont installées. La conception des ces batiments est tout simplement etonnante. L'architecture des bâtiments est unique et splendide.
Tous les batiments sont actuellement fermés, sauf deux d’entre eux.
La Chambre de Bath de Fordyce a été rénovée, elle est aujourd’hui identique a l’originale et habrite un musée sur 4 niveau. La visite des sous-sol de ce batiment est ouverte au public, on y voit les tuyauteries prenant leur origine a la source naturelle et allant jusqu’a la baignoire/hot pot. On peut aussi voir jaillir la source qui coule encore sous la ville. La renovation a été tres fidele, car meme si les ascenceurs sont recents, ils sont fidels a ceux qui a l’epoque avaient de spoprtes a fermetures manuelle..
L'autre Chambre de Bains encore ouverte est toujours en service actuellement, elle s’appelle Buckstaff.
