The record — long form
Quapaw is the domed — the 'tile mosaic' that's the roof's dress, the 'most striking' that's the Row's mark. The 'cave found' is the sold — the 'tufa cavity' that's the dig's find, the 'Indian cave' that's the pitch's name. The '40 tubs' is the ran — the 'largest' that's the bathing's size, the 'Platt meant' that's the first name.
The 'closed twice' is the tried — the '68 '84' that's the doors' dates, the 'Health Services' that's the between's use. The 'leased first' is the reused — the '2008' that's the spa's open, the 'still soaks' that's the water's keep. Quapaw is the named — the 'tribe' that's the title's source, the 'land held' that's the history's claim.
