200+ year-old Eubank Springs springhouse move is underway Gifts needed to reconstruct the building at the Trabue-Russell House; contact Stacey Bailey to make a donation Photos, links, with this article Stonemasons Larry Streeval and his son, Brad, are moving the Eubank Springs springhouse from its present location at the back of Lynn's Service Center to the Trabue-Russell House, just up Jamestown Street from the springhouse's original location. The building has been in its present location for over 200 years. It is believed to have been built in 1790, and may be the oldest structure in Adiar County. Native Americans and early trappers in the area used the spring before that. The stones were donated to the Trabue-Russell House by Lynn Franklin, owner of Lynn's Service Center. The Streeval's are being paid to move the stones, but they have given reduced rates for the project. Money is needed to complete the task The building will not be immediately reassembled, Larry Streeval said. "They don't have the money to do that now," he said, "they're looking for donations." Stacey Bailey is in charge of the project. Mr. Streeval said that Ms. Bailey should be contacted to make donations. Her address is: Stacey Bailey, Columbia-Adair County Industrial Development Authority, 201 Burkesville Street, PO Box 310, Columbia, KY 42728 Or, call her at 270-384-4401. Her Email is: cacida@alltel.net . Larry Streeval has 39 years experience in drystone masonry Mr. Steeval said that he has been in stonemasonry for 39 years. "I started when I was 13," he said, "and now I'm 52." His son, Brad, is 26. The building is of drystone construction. Originally, the stones had red clay between stones. This was used to make a smooth interface, not to bind the stones together. Later, some limestone mortar was added, and, even later, concrete mortar was added in places. When the building is reconstructed, it will be done with only sand between the stones, in authentic drystone fashion. This system of masonry was used in the great stone fences of Kentucky, many of which beautify the Adair County Countryside. Ann Heskamp Curtis, an Adair Countian now living in California, sent a link to a group in Kentucky who are promoting drystone conservancy as well as new construction using the technique. More information on Eubank Springs can be found in Ruth Paull Burdette's "Early Columbia," history, which can been found at the Janice Holt Giles Memorial Library (Adair Public Library) at 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY.
