This structure is a remnant of the stonework done by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s, when plans were in place to turn the present site of the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge into a state park. Similar structures around the refuge once contained restrooms and water fountains. The projects were abandoned when funding ended for the CCC in 1942.
