Today, the town remains the most unique city in Arkansas but with much of its Victorian-to-1950s views nearly unrecognizable. \u003cem\u003eHot Springs: Past and Present\u003c\/em\u003e 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 bathhouse, a gambling house, or a mansion.
