     This webpage has been created as my Arkansas Memory Project concerning the historical buildings of Hot Springs. The Arkansas Memory Project is a year-long endeavor by ASMS American Studies students in which a certain area of Arkansas history is identified and researched through the use of primary source documents.

      historical survey conducted by the Arkansas Historical Preservation Program, Information regarding the history of the individual buildings, such as dates and builders, has been obtained and cross-referenced from a historical survey conducted by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program and information published by the Garland County Historical Society's The Record. All historical photos and texts are available to the public at the Garland County Historical Society archives, 210 Woodbine, Hot Springs, AR, along with thousands of other pictures, postcards, books and newspapers. Modern photographs are property of the author, taken in April of 1999. I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to the kind members of the Historical Society for their assistance with this project.
