SUMMARY
A photograph of the Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, dated by the Commons file record to circa 1890. Rights confirmed directly via the Wikimedia Commons file page and its imageinfo API record: public domain, credited on the file page to a photo-gallery site (eurekaspringsmediacenter.com) that redirected rather than resolving cleanly on direct check, so Commons is the only reliably available holding record; noted here per the archive's Commons-only sourcing rule. Local file confirmed at 750x484px after download, above the 400px floor. A vision-capable pass on the downloaded file confirmed the same building and architectural details (three towers, wraparound porches) as the circa-1886 photograph of the same hotel, with no people or in-frame date marking visible.
NOTES

A circa-1890 photograph of the Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, decades before Norman Baker bought and converted the building into Baker’s Cancer Curing Hospital in 1937.
