Ground-breaking took place in 1936 with a ceremony and the laying of the cornerstone. This structure was partially completed in 1937, when the "Hall of Springs" (today known as the water bar) opened and the mineral waters were dispensed to visitors and health-seekers.

Besides the Hall of Springs, the first floor contained the women's bath department, a sunroom, a covered porch, a grand foyer, offices for the management of the springs and for the chamber of commerce. The swimming pool met the A.A.U. regulations for championship events and was located on a lower floor that opened to outdoor terraces. The balcony around the pool could seat 500 people. Adjoining the pool in the south wing was a special hydrotherapy department, devoted to research into the uses of the waters and treatment of chronic cases of different ailments on prescriptions of licensed physicians. The bottling department was located on the east side of the north wing. Five varieties of mineral water were bottled in the Hall of Waters Processing and Bottling Plant and shipped all over the world.
