History

Mineral Springs Hotel was built in 1914 & operated until 1971. During its time as a hotel it featured the largest swimming pool in all of Illinois! The pool was filled with mineral water that many believed had healing benefits. Guests would travel from all over in hopes that a swim would cure them of any ailments. There are a number of reported deaths inside the hotel that span each floor. After closing its doors the building was renovated into the Mineral Springs Mall & still operates as such today.
