Photographer: J. J. Prats
Taken: April 16, 2019
Caption: Ruins of the Mineral Spring
Additional Description: Inscription just above the two indented stones reads, “Take a Drink on Wm. Bruckmann.” William Bruckmann owned the Bruckmann Brewing Company in Cincinnati, the nearest metropolis to the resort, and was never an owner of this property. The low stone pedestal on the floor of the structure was the basin from which the spring flowed. Old photographs show the name “Smith Grimes” now hidden under the lichen. He was the proprietor who built this stonework. Click on image, then again on oversize image to enlarge.
