- 1700s Springhouse in Forks Township Pennsylvania. Tour by the Forks Township Historical Society. June 21, 2014. Located a few miles north of Easton on Bushkill Drive along the Bushkill Creek and just downstream from the old Book Barn, Tatamy Farm Bureau, Braden's Airport area.
My grandmother had a stone springhouse. You couldn't keep your finger in the water, more than 3 seconds. It was freezing. There were big square 5 inch thick slabs on the floor in the well area to walk on. Then an area to store cold items. Really cool.
It looks like the fireplace like structure below is to support the actual fireplace above.
Seriously, thank you for this video. This is FASCINATING.
We have a fireplace like structure like that in my 1800s home's basement. Never knew what it was for either
is the spring still flowing fresh water?
should see the spring house i just filled on my families property in Lower Makefield PA
Filled?
The music is distracting
The music is distracting and over riding what the gentleman is saying
Why build a house around spring
Before there was electricity many houses also had a small spring house to store and preserve food.
