About

The Fordyce Bathhouse opened in 1915. And it was actually the first bathhouse to close in the 1960s, after advances in modern medicine caused the bathhouse business to decline. The Fordyce was built by railroad tycoon Samuel Fordyce, who moved his family to Hot Springs in 1876. He was an early and influential investor in the town, helping to build hotels, an opera house, infrastructure, and utilities.
