Fordyce Bathhouse, Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas
I'm not sure exactly how all the the knobs control water flow, the there are heads shooting water from all directions for a soothing, hot mineral shower to wash off after that soothing, hot mineral bath. Interesting to note is that all of this is in the men's bath area. There is one for women, but it's smaller and not nearly as lavish. Seems men ranked as more important, and since they were the ones spending the money, they were catered to. Also, probably a certain amount of prudishness contributed, as men tried to cover up women's bodies as much as possible (!?).
