Did your family have a springhouse?

A springhouse is a small building, usually of a single room, and constructed over a spring. While the original purpose of a springhouse was to keep the spring water clean by excluding fallen leaves, animals, etc., the enclosing structure was also used for refrigeration before the coming of ice delivery and, later electric refrigeration.

The water of the spring maintains a constant cool temperature inside the spring house all year. Food that would otherwise spoil, such as meat, fruit, or dairy products could be kept there. It was also safe from animals as well. Springhouses often also served as pumphouses, milkhouses, and root cellars.

The springhouse pictured is located at the Walker Sisters Cabin in Tennessee.
