>> Good Afternoon,

>>             After having to try to find and document several
>> springhouses in the mid-Atlantic region, I have become frustrated with
>> how little has been published about them.   (For those who are
>> interested, there is a very informative 2009 master's thesis by
>> Stephanie Lee Shaw (U of DE) "Springhouses of the Red Clay Valley: A
>> Transformation from Essential to Ornamental".)  Therefore, I have
>> started to document surviving examples of springhouses in my area.  I
>> would like to know if any of the list members have hard documentation on
>> the springhouse structures.  I plan to make a public data base with
>> photos for general reference.  I know the purpose and history of
>> springhouses.  I am not collecting personal reminiscences at this time.
>> Does any one out there have a documented springhouse?
