About this postcard

A view down Central Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas, with tall brick commercial blocks and bathhouse-style facades lining the right side of the street, utility poles and a wooded hillside rising beyond. Central Avenue was the spine of the city's famous bathhouse row, where visitors came to take the thermal waters of the Hot Springs reservation. The card dates from the era when Hot Springs was one of the most heavily visited resort towns in the United States.
