Description:	Front: Script at left reads, Grotto Springs, Winona Lake, Ind.Back: Body of message reads, Dear Mary: Have neglected to answer your card, so will do so now. Hope you all are well. We are, and busy. We are alone now. Jeinne Emery was here last week. Say, will you please write me how you made your catsup last year. I like it so well, and want to make some like it. Let me know when you get time. Mary Tewplin. Addressed to, Mrs. Howard Baldwin, New Castle, 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.
