This was one of the spring houses in art deco style, the interior has not been renovated so you are not allowed inside.

Until 1963, when the Houston Astrodome was built, the West Baden Springs Hotel's dome was the largest in the world, 200 feet in diameter, 100 feet in height.

It took 277 days to build it in 1902 and 30 months to restore it in 1996-98.

This building was used as the bowling and billards hall. The interior is not renovated but you can take a look inside and imagine what it might have looked like.
