Spring House Gazebo

The Spring House Gazebo is a historic <a href="/facts/Gazebo/m6a0XAnb">gazebo</a> of <a href="/facts/Eden_Park_(Cincinnati)/L4qmSqT5">Eden Park</a> within <a href="/facts/Cincinnati/PcyTWhS4">Cincinnati</a>, <a href="/facts/Ohio/YutCnTlh">Ohio</a>, in the <a href="/facts/United_States/P0sCdLe5">United States</a>. Designed by architect Cornelius M. Foster and completed in 1904 (121 years ago) (1904), it is the oldest enduring park structure in the Cincinnati municipal park system. As an icon of the entire park system, it appears in the logo of the <a href="/facts/Cincinnati_Park_Board/NFurnn19">Cincinnati Park Board</a>. The gazebo was constructed in the Moorish style, with brightly painted arches and ball <a href="/facts/Finial/X5MgxgSw">finials</a>.
The gazebo took its name from the old <a href="/facts/Spring_house/bwWSkrdj">spring house</a> it replaced. Said to have therapeutic qualities, locals hauled away the spring water by the bucketful until the spring was found to be contaminated. The well was sealed off in 1912.
The Spring House Gazebo stands near the center of the park next to Mirror Lake, a large <a href="/facts/Reflecting_pool/EGrU4sJd">reflecting pool</a> and former city reservoir with a walkway around its perimeter. The seasonal fountain in Mirror Lake shoots water 60 feet (18 m) in the air and can be seen from miles away from the hilltop park.
