This cache location comes with some history and has plans in the works to be majorly developed in the future. The brand new firestation nearby was one of those plans, as well as the new medians.
The Minnequa Club in Pueblo, Colorado was a retreat for workers of the Colorado Steel and Iron Company to enjoy an amusement park and recreation. It was created on the shore of a manmade lake, which was designed to provide water for the steel mill. It was a two-story, residential structure with balconies, porches and bay windows. Vines climbed the stairways, and chimneys rose from the hipped-gable roof. People piloted boats, as well as water skied and swam, on the lake in the foreground, which is still there, the water level is just a bit lower. A watertower stood watch near what is now a brand new firestation. The area was connected to other parks of the time by trolley system. Photograph is from 1898 and was taken from the water looking back to shore.
Today all that remains are the massive trees and the building’s foundation.
If you'd like to go visit, a slice of history from Lake Minnequa is still in operation in Pueblo City Park to this day. The carousel, one of less than 200 in operation, was operated in Lake Minnequa's amusement park, where Corwin Middle School currently sits, before it found its current home in Pueblo City Park.
