Edgewood
the Spring-house
The
ruins of a springhouse on the (now former portion of the) Edgewood property. We believe this is
most likely the springhouse mentioned in Two Little Knights of Kentucky.
This would be the springhouse by the cabin
where the boys left Jonesy and the bear in Two Little Knights of Kentucky
The ruins are beside the small creek that runs through the Edgewood Manor subdivision
and would have formerly been on the Edgewood property itself. You can see the rear of
Edgewood easily from the ruins during the winter. (Photos taken Christmas
2004) It would have been less easy to see before Edgewood was moved.
The spring-house was built with slave labor and brick was made on the property.

******************
Nearby, behind Edgewood, are the ruins of
the spring:
"She's tied to a
tree down by the spring." answered
Malcolm." We are just starting
down there now to cut her loose. You see we were playing
Indian, and she was tied up to be tortured, and we forgot
all about her being there---"
