The foundation of this spring house at Locust Grove in Louisville, Kentucky, was discovered and later reconstructed. It is located down a hill towards a creek from the main house.

Excerpted from the Locust Grove Restoration website:

Locust Grove, including 55 surrounding acres and extant buildings, was purchased in 1961 by Jefferson County (KY) and the Commonwealth of Kentucky to save the circa 1790 historic structures from demolition. Following an extensive and detailed restoration, the site opened to the public in 1964.

Initial outbuildings research and reconstruction took place over the next ten years with the completion of the kitchen, ice house, spring house and dairy, restoration of the smokehouse and construction of a log cabin.
