Sweet Chalybeate Springs
Sweet Chalybeate Springs, also known as the Red Sweet Springs, Sweet Chalybeate Hotel and Sweet Chalybeate Springs Lodge, is a historic resort hotel complex located at Sweet Chalybeate, Alleghany County, Virginia. It dates to the 1850s, and consists of a main building, guest ranges, and cottages all fronted with two-level porches. There are a total of eight contributing buildings and one contributing structure. The main building is a gable roof, weatherboarded, frame structure 12 bays long and 2 bays deep. The resort developed around springs flowing undisturbed from the bottom of a small rock bluff. Sweet Chalybeate suffered decline and finally closed its doors in 1918. As of 2009, the structure no longer appears to be extant.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974; however, the listing has since been removed as the structure no longer exists.
