Page 5 - History of the Dearborn Mineral Springs

Supposedly, Dearborn had

the spring excavated to the

bed-rock, cleaned, stoned up

to within four feet of the

surface, and then tiled to

protect it from surface water.

The tiling was extended

upward through a tight floor

and building erected over

the spring, “with easy

facilities for raising the

water.”
