Hot Springs, 1943

The Victorian-era home was operated as Oakley Manor at 619 Orange St., seeking to rent rooms to people looking for an alternative to downtown hotels. “This is a picture of the house we’re staying at. I am having a good time and am making different things at kindergarten.” Sadly, the home is gone, now the site of a parking lot for an apartment building.
