Known as a landmark in the Clifton Springs area, the historic Spa Apartments building was built starting in 1856 and was completed by 1871. At the time it was known as Clifton Springs Sanitarium Co., founded by Dr. Henry Foster. The grounds had walking paths along creeks, gardens, tennis courts and a nine-hole golf course. In 1882, Dr. Foster demolished the west half of the building and began the grand structure of his vision, the stately sanitarium. It is 244 feet long, five stories in height and included a large, glassed area on the roof (the Solarium) and a chapel. The building had electric lights, gas and the most modern of medical equipment. The building and the services offered there changed throughout the decades until it was closed in the 1950’s. In 1971 the building was saved from demolition and transformed into senior living apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The value of our contracted work was approximately 1.2 million dollars.
