The springhouse collects the water of Gladstone Springs. It contains about seven and a half feet of water. It is a round stone structure,  in diameter and standing only about  above grade, and is covered by a conical roof. A projecting gable\-roof dormer contains the doorway to the building.

Southwest of the spring house stands a two\-story wood\-frame structure with a large single\-story concrete\-block addition, which has seen a variety of uses. The first floor is believed to have originally housed offices, but has been converted to apartments. The upstairs appears to have always been an apartment, probably for the facility manager. The concrete block structure is where bottling and shipping took place.
