| Silurian Spring's octagonal spring house remains as one of the only intact spring houses in Waukesha. Silurian water was first advertised in 1874. The water was bottled for commercial sale and the site was improved to include reading rooms, bathing rooms, room for a band and eventually a large theater. The existing springhouse was constructed around 1920. |
