File:Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas - circa 1886.jpg

A postcard-format photograph of the Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, dated by the Commons file record to circa 1886, the hotel's opening year. Rights confirmed directly via the Wikimedia Commons file page and its imageinfo API record: public domain, unknown author, credited on the file page to a since-unreachable local-history site (thelibrary.org/lochist/frisco), which no longer resolves (DNS failure on direct check), so Commons is the only available holding record; that absence of a further institutional holding record is noted here per the archive's Commons-only sourcing rule. Local file confirmed at 760x477px after download, above the 400px floor. A vision-capable pass on the downloaded file (not just the API metadata) confirmed the image itself carries a printed caption reading "Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Ark.", independently corroborating the building's identity; no people or additional date marking are visible in the frame.
