Legend spread that the water from the springs cured a variety of illnesses and Atlantans soon began making pilgrimages to the site. The area quickly became Atlanta's first suburban resort with the addition of an artificial lake, dance hall, theater, picnic ground, and amusement rides. In the mid-1920s, Sears, Roebuck and Company built a massive Merchandise/Mail Order Catalog Center on the site of the Ponce de Leon Springs.image/jpegVIS 170.346.001ahc170346001.jpgAtlanta, Ga. : Kenan Research Centerhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Atlanta History Photograph CollectionSprings--Georgia--Fulton CountyStreams--Georgia--Fulton CountyPonce de Leon SpringsStillImage
