Hot Springs National Park Administration Building Details
At the south end of the Bathhouse Row National Historic Landmark District is the Hot Springs National Park Administration Building. Opening in 1936, the building became a national historic landmark in 1987. It was the last building to go up on Bathhouse Row, and originally served not just as the administration building, but also as the visitor center and museum for the park, a function it held until 1989, when park headquarters was moved to the Fordyce Bathhouse. The building was designed by Charles Peterson and Thomas Vint of the Park Service's Eastern Planning Division in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The roof features clay tiles, and there are ornate wrought-iron grilles over the first-floor windows. Both French doors have five lights on them, coming out from second floor level to wrought iron balconies. Entry to the building is through large Spanish Baroque doors. The basement of the administration building also holds a pump room, which helps distribute the thermal spring water throughout the park.
