The Fordyce bathhouse is the most elaborate and was the most costly of the bathhouses in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the price such as fixtures and furniture becoming 2,749.55 US. It was closed on June 29, 1962, the first of the Row establishments to fall victim to the decline in popularity of therapeutic bathing. Fordyce Bathhouse has served as the park visitor center since 1989.

The Fordyce bathhouse was constructed in 1914–15, developed by George Mann and Eugene John Stern of Little Rock, Arkansas. Its surpassing elegance was intentional, as Samuel Fordyce waited to observe the Maurice’s construction to discover out if he could create &quota a lot more eye-catching and hassle-free&quot facility. It was constructed as a testimonial to the healing waters to which Mr. Fordyce believed he owed his life. It represents the &quotGolden Age of Bathing&quot in America, the pinnacle of the American bathing industry’s efforts to generate a spa rivaling those of Europe. The Fordyce provided all the treatments offered in other homes.

The Fordyce offered for the properly-being of the whole patron – physique, mind, and spirit. It presented a museum exactly where prehistoric Indian relics have been displayed, bowling lanes and a billiard area for recreation, a gymnasium for exercising, a roof garden for clean air and sun, and a variety of assembly rooms and staterooms for conversation and reading.

In style, the building is mainly a Renaissance Revival structure, with both Spanish and Italian elements. The building is a three-story structure of brick construction, with a decorative cream-colored brick facing with terra cotta detailing. The foundation and porch are constructed of Batesville limestone. On the upper two stories, the brickwork is patterned in a lozenge style. The 1st floor exterior of the front elevation to the west is completed with rusticated terra cotta (shaped to look like ashlar stone masonry). The remainder of the first floor is finished with glazed brick. A marquee of stained glass and copper with a parapet of Greek style motifs overhangs the open entrance porch. The north and south finish walls have curvilinear parapets of Spanish extraction. These side walls have highly decorative terra cotta windows on the first floor. On the front elevation, the fenestration defines the seven bays of the structure and supplies the architectural hierarchy common of Renaissance Revival style buildings. The windows on the very first floor are of simple rectangular style. Those on the second floor are paired six-light casements within an elaborate terra cotta molding that continues up about the arched window/door openings of the third floor. The arches of these openings are incorporated into the terra cotta frieze that elegantly finishes the leading of the wall directly below the cornice. Visible portions of the roof are hipped, covered with decorative tile. Hidden portions of the roof are flat, with the exception of the massive skylights constructed of metal frames and wire glass.

The initial floor contains the marble-walled lobby, flanked by terra cotta fountains, which has stained glass clerestory windows and ceramic tile flooring. In the vicinity of the lobby desk are a verify room, attendant dispatch room, and elevators. The north and central portions of the developing property the men’s facilities: cooling area, pack room, steam space, hydrotherapy area, and bath hall. The women’s facilities, considerably smaller in size, are at the south end of the constructing. Originally there was a 30 tub capacity. Despite the fact that the men’s and women’s bath halls each have stained glass windows in aquatic motifs, the most impressive stained glass is the huge skylight in the men’s location, with the DeSoto fountain centered on the floor directly below it. The second floor initially had dressing rooms, lockers, cooling rooms, and massage and mechano-therapy departments now it is largely occupied by wood changing stalls, with entry to a centrally positioned quarry-tile courtyard for sunbathing. The third floor houses a massive ceramic-tiled Hubbard Currence therapeutic tub (a full physique immersion whirlpool installed in 1938 when other hydrotherapeutic pools had been also added), areas for men’ s and women’ s parlors, and a wood panelled gymnasium to the rear. The most impressive space on the third floor is the assembly space (now museum) where the segmentally arched vaults of the ceiling are filled in with arched, stained glass skylights. Arched wood frame doors surrounded by fanlights and sidelights open out to the tiny balconies of the front elevation. The basement houses different mechanical gear, a bowling alley (since removed), and the Fordyce spring – a glazed tile area with an arched ceiling and a plate glass window covering over the all-natural hot spring (spring quantity 46).

Colonel Samuel W. Fordyce was an crucial figure in the history of Hot Springs – soldier, entrepreneur, and community leader. After experiencing the curative powers of the thermal waters in treating a Civil War injury, he moved to Hot Springs and was involved in numerous organizations like the Arlington and Eastman Hotels, many bathhouses, a theater, the horsecar line, and utilities. Fordyce had a hand in practically every single development which shaped the neighborhood and Bathhouse Row from the 1870s to the 1920s.

Hot Springs is the 10th most populous city in the U.S. state of Arkansas, the county seat of Garland County, and the principal city of the Hot Springs Metropolitan Statistical Region encompassing all of Garland County. According to 2008 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city was 39,467.

Hot Springs is traditionally very best identified for the organic spring water that gives it its name, flowing out of the ground at a temperature of 147 degrees Fahrenheit (64 degrees C). Hot Springs National Park is the oldest federal reserve in the USA, and the tourist trade brought by the renowned springs make it a quite effective spa town.

The city takes its name from the all-natural thermal water that flows from 47 springs on the western slope of Hot Springs Mountain in the historic downtown district of the city. About a million gallons of 143-degree water flow from the springs each day. The price of flow is not impacted by fluctuations in the rainfall in the location. Research by National Park Service scientists have determined by means of carbon dating that the water that reaches the surface in Hot Springs fell as rainfall in an as-yet undetermined watershed 4,000 years earlier. The water percolates very slowly down by way of the earth’s surface until it reaches superheated areas deep in the crust and then rushes swiftly to the surface to emerge from the 47 hot springs.

A little channel of hot spring water known as Hot Springs Creek runs beneath ground from an region close to Park Avenue to Bath House Row.

Sleepy Hollow N.Y. – Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow

Image by Daniel Mennerich
The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, listed on the National Register of Historic Locations as Dutch Reformed Church (Sleepy Hollow), is a 17th century stone church situated on Albany Post Road (U.S. Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States. It and its five-acre (two ha) churchyard function prominently in Washington Irving’s &quotThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow&quot. The churchyard is often confused with the contiguous but separate Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

It is the oldest extant church and the 15th oldest extant creating in the state of New York, renovated after an 1837 fire. Some of those renovations had been reversed 60 years later, and additional operate was carried out in 1960. It was listed on the Register in 1966, amongst the earliest properties so recognized. It had currently been designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. It is nevertheless the house of the Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns, which holds summer solutions there, as well as on specific occasions such as Christmas Eve.

The church is positioned on the east side of Albany Post Road, opposite the Devries Road intersection, just north of downtown Sleepy Hollow. The neighborhoods to the west are residential. A wooded region to the southeast buffers the church from residential regions in that path. Approximately 300 ft (one hundred m) to the south is the mill pond at Philipsburg Manor House, an additional National Historic Landmark. The churchyard and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, itself listed on the Register, are to the north.

The creating itself is a rectangular structure with a three-sided projecting rear apse on the east end. It has two-foot–thick (60 cm) fieldstone walls. They give way to clapboard above the roofline, inside the fields of the Flemish-style gambrel roof, with its reduced segments flaring outward like a bell. On the west finish of the roof is an octagonal wooden open belfry. Inside it is the original bell, with an engraved verse from Romans 8:31, &quotSi Deus Pro Nobis, Quis Contras Nos?&quot (&quotIf God be for us, who can be against us&quot) and &quotVF&quot, Frederick Philipse’s initials. The latter monogram is also on the wrought iron weathervane atop the belfry.

To the west a stone retaining wall raises the church above grade level. A few shrubs flank the stone actions that lead up to the primary entrance, paneled wooden double doors recessed inside a Gothic archway. Above it is a glass transom with curved, intersecting muntins. It is set inside a brick surround. The north and south side elevations have double-hung sash windows, as do the two side facets of the apse. At the roofline is a molded wooden cornice.

The interior has its wooden pews, with two side aisles, arranged so all can concentrate on the pulpit. The pulpit is located on a raised platform in the rear, directly opposite the main entrance. A balustrade with turned wooden posts, open at the aisles, sets the platform off from the rest of the wide-planked floor. Behind it is a table, with a lectern on the north and an enclosed pew along the south side. The ornate wooden pulpit is raised further above the table level access is offered by a short spiral stair. A pipe organ is positioned at the rear.

Frederick Philipse I, Lord of Philipse Manor, owned the vast stretch of land spanning from Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx to the Croton River. Soon after swearing allegiance and later getting granted his Manorship from the English, he chose to establish his nation seat at what was then identified as North Tarrytown, exactly where Pocantico Creek flowed into the Hudson River. A little neighborhood had currently been established there when he arrived in 1683, with 50 burials in the modest cemetery. He built the very first church for them at the southern end of the cemetery.
