Hot Springs National Park is famous for its Bathhouse Row, today an area consisting of eight bathhouses that extend along the foot of the mountain that gives rise to the thermal springs. As thermal bathing became less profitable by the mid-twentieth century, many of the bathhouses closed and were soon left vacant. One of the first actions to save the surviving structures was the designation of Bathhouse Row as a National Register of Historic Places property in 1974.
