Iron Mountain Hot Springs is the newest hot springs in Glenwood Springs — but since 1896, there have been six previous owners of this site along the Colorado River.4 The site originally housed the West Glenwood Health Spa, a wooden bathhouse built by Sheriff Robert Ware in 1896, according to information on file at the Frontier Historical Museum. The three-story, red brick Victorian mansion, known as “Big Red,” was built a short time later, and served as Ware’s home as well as that of a succession of owners over the ensuing 100 years.5

By choosing a different name for their financial gamble, each new owner put their own brand on one of the oldest commodities in the world — water. The Frontier Museum uncovered these names for what is now the Iron Mountain Hot Springs: West Glenwood Health Spa (or West Glenwood Hot Springs), Wash Allen’s Bathhouse, the West Glenwood Mineral Baths, Iron Springs Spa, Fort Defiance Bathhouse, Glenwood Health Spa and Gamba Mineral Springs. 4

After the buildings fell into disrepair, the iconic “Big Red” and the other structures, including several cabins, were torn down in 1995-96 to make way for what then were plans by Pitkin Iron to develop a water park with slides, pools and other features. 5

Not done as these changes are promotional and hyper-advertorial. While some of the historical information is interesting, however the tone and prose is non-encylopedic. Netherzone (talk) 20:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
