Bathsheba's spring and bower : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bathsheba's spring and bower
Bathsheba's spring and bower, also known as Bathsheba's bath and bower, was the name of a well-known eighteenth-century property in Philadelphia's Society Hill neighborhood and said to be the first spa of the area. It had a natural spring well with water that was considered to be of exceptional quality and to have curative properties. == Owner == Bathsheba Bauer (German), anglicized to Bathsheba Bowers, was a young lady that purchased the Second Street property around 1690 from the Free Society of Traders. It was next to a natural spring at Society Hill in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There she built a small house of unusual design. Bower was a recluse and considered an eccentric. Her religion was sometimes that of a Quaker and other times a mix of other religions.
