Medical Arts Building
Medical Arts Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The Medical Arts Building is a 16-story skyscraper located on Central Avenue in Hot Springs featuring limestone carvings and bronze grille work at its entrance. The structure rises approximately 180 feet and exemplifies the Art Deco architectural style with detailed decorative elements throughout its facade.
The building was constructed in 1929 and stood as the tallest structure in Arkansas until 1960. It housed medical offices and practices in its upper floors until 1991 when this use ended.
The building displays classical Art Deco design with fluted columns and decorative flower panels across its facade. These details shape the downtown landscape and reflect the artistic ambitions of the 1920s era.
The ground floor is open to visitors and can be accessed freely. The upper floors are currently undergoing renovation work, so a visit focuses mainly on the entrance and lobby areas.
This building served as the exterior setting for the Daily Planet building in the original Superman television series of the 1950s. This connection to a world-famous television production makes it a special spot for fans of the show.
