A spring house, or springhouse, is a small building, usually of a single room, constructed over a spring. While the original purpose of a springhouse was to keep the spring water clean by excluding fallen leaves, animals, etc., the enclosing structure was also used for refrigeration before the advent of ice delivery and, later, electric refrigeration. The water of the spring maintains a constant cool temperature inside the spring house throughout the year. Food that would otherwise spoil, such as meat, fruit, or dairy products, could be kept there, safe from animal depredations as well. Springhouses thus often also served as pumphouses, milkhouses, and root cellars.

| - Une spring house – ou springhouse – est un édicule construit autour et au-dessus d'une source. Elle assure la propreté de l'eau qui en jaillit en la protégeant des feuilles qui tombent et des animaux qui pourraient chercher à venir s'y abreuver. Si la source n'est pas une source chaude, la construction peut aussi faire office de glacière en permettant la réfrigération de l'air confiné à l'intérieur par la température basse du liquide qui sort de terre. Elle sert alors souvent de garde-manger pour la conservation des aliments. (fr)

Elle sert alors souvent de garde-manger pour la conservation des aliments. Aux États-Unis, où ces constructions sont demeurées courantes dans les sites isolés, certaines sont inscrites au Registre national des lieux historiques. C'est le cas de la Soda Springs Cabin, une cabane qui enclôt les Soda Springs, dans le comté de Tuolumne et le parc national de Yosemite, en Californie. (fr)

The Tomahawk Spring spring house at Tomahawk, West Virginia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. (en)
