Not only that, but think how much we take our fresh water for granted. Some guy had to dig that hole. Have no idea how deep it goes. I will clean it out some after we get concrete in there. Then they laid those stones (which they also had to dig up) in the tubular shape you see. We have no idea what year the well was dug. But, I am betting late 1900's. I believe there was another structure there at one time, close to where this one is. Haven't had a chance to check land records and see if there is a clue. Pretty sure you would not be allowed to build right over an existing well today, at least not in municipal limits.
