Going to make this short as to what I learned about the Watering Place Hotel located near the Katalysine Springs. It was located on the east side of Herrs Ridge and the western terminus of the Gettysburg Springs Railroad. Construction on the hotel was started in 1868 and opened on June 28, 1869. There was a conflict with the watering co. but it was resolved in time for the first Gettysburg reunion. Over the years the land was broken up for one reason or another. In 1901 the hotel company declared bankruptcy In December 1917 the hotel was demolished. The privately owned area west of Willoughby Run became part of the 1948 Gettysburg Country club and near the 2nd tee the springs were covered up, until the NPS purchased the land. There is a lot more to this story, but this gives you the general overview.
