in the 1960s, there was a record 425
baths. On an average day, 225 to 250
people bathe at the Buckstaff,
Koonce said.
Other hotels and health clubs in
Hot Springs, not on bathhouse row,
offer baths in the mineral waters.
The Buckstaff is a private com-
pany operating as a concessionaire
in the national park. Koonce said one
reason for the demise of some of the
neighboring bathhouses was a
change in the leases offered by the
park service.
Koonce said the park service used
to give 20-year contracts for the
operation of the bathhouses, but
wanted to go to five-year leases.
"There’s no way in the world we can
operate like that,” he said.
Giddings said negotiations are go-
ing on to lease five of the empty
exercise without the exertion,”
Koonce said.

at Hot Springs.

"They are historic buildings,” Gid-
dings said. "We have the obligation
to preserve them.”
Others uses for the buildings, such
as galleries or shops, are being con-
sidered, Giddings said. The intenors
may be changed but the exterior of
the bathhouse row buildings will be
preserved, he said.
The Fordyce Bathhouse will be
converted into the park’s visitors’
center and the Lamar will be leased
later, Giddings said.
At least one bathhouse — right now
the Buckstaff — will continue to give
baths, Giddings said.
"Absolutely. That is one of the
things called for in our new plan," he
said. "One bathhouse will continue to
be operated as a theraputic
bathhouse of the heyday of bathing in
HotSprings.
"We want to retain the concept of
Hot Springs being a spa area because
that is what this park is all about."
