Fountain Spring House
| Text on front reads: "Fountain Spring House, Waukesha, Wis." On July 4, 1874, the Fountain Spring House opened for business. Built of Waukesha limestone, the Fountain Spring House was eventually rebuilt to twice its original size and included a half-mile dirt track for harness and jockey racing along with fields for croquet, tennis and horse shows. Altogether, the property covered 120 acres. Porches and balconies wrap around the front of the building with guests seated in chairs. A sign on the chimneys reads: "Fountain Spring House." |
