Magnesia Temple, Sharon Springs, NY

The Magnesia Temple was built in 1863 by H.J. Bang, who created a park around the spring. It is located on private property on the west side of Brimstone Creek off Main Street near the north end of Sharon Springs. The Magnesia Temple furnished refreshing, medicinal magnesia water which sprouted out of the twin stone lion heads. It is the only remaining structure of the Congress Hall complex which included the hotel, bathhouses, a bandstand and gardens. It is no longer working.
