Dent Springhouse - View this location on map This simple structure from about 1845 is a rare example of a once-common rural appurtenance vital for protecting water sources and providing cold storage for food. About 12 feet square and built of granite fieldstone, it stands in a swale below the Dent House, enclosing the source of a tributary stream of Rock Creek. The spring is now dry, but the water trough inside and exiting the house is well preserved. 3517 Springland Lane, NW, Washington , DC Historical
