Kingston Springs Hotel Complex, Kingston Springs, Cheatham County
The Kingston Springs Hotel is one of only a few remaining hotel and resort era complexes encompassing health spas established in Middle TN during the early 1890s until 1917. Primarily attracting Tennesseans and prominent Nashvillians, visitors came to access the mineral springs as the main attraction via the railroad, while also boasting a dance hall and bowling alley. Two framed guest cottages built around 1900 provided comfortable accommodations and are located on the property near the hotel. The present Victorian styled hotel constructed in the early 1890s was built by Matt F. Allen from designs by Nashville architect Baxter J. Hodge. This collection of buildings has deteriorated for years as the owners have neglected to maintain and preserve the historic site.
