Grotto Spring 1927

Description:	Front: Script at top of postcard reads, Mrs. Sundays Goldfish Grotto, Winona Lake, Ind.Back: Body of message reads, Dear [...], We are all here for the day. Miss you so much, but [...] you are having bushels of fun. Coming Saturday. Love, Mother. Addressed to, Ben Wilson Meek, 3248 Graceland Ave., Indianapolis Indiana. The Grotto Spring is located on the north side of the Twelfth Street Hill adjacent to the Billy Sunday Home. The builder is unkown. It is a large open subterranean room made from native field stone in a circular shape. The water flows out via a concrete spillway and then passes under a small bridge also made of native field stone. At one time gold fish called the center pool home. The Town of Winona Lake filled in the Grotto Springs in the 1980s. The spring water found a new route and destroyed the pavement on the Twelfth Street Hill. The gravel was removed and the Grotto was somewhat restored. The Grotto is still a part of Winona Lake, but is showing its age.
