DescriptionHot Springs second Arlington Hotel 1922.jpeg
"Constructed in 1893, the second Arlington Hotel contained 300 rooms. The paired observatory towers of the Spanish Renaissance revival structure dominated the north end of Bathhouse Row. The hotel provided numerous diversions for its guests, including three concerts every day. The architectural firm of McClure, Stewart, and Mullgardt of St. Louis designed the building. Louis Mullgardt left that firm shortly after the Arlington's construction and went to San Francisco, where he spent the rest of his productive carreer. Mullgardt, best known as a California architect, designed a number of major commercial and residential structures in the Bay Area, including the Court of the Ages for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum." - Paige, John C; Laura Woulliere Harrison (1987).
