2012- "Known as the "Witch's House," this rustic shelter is constructed with fieldstone and topped with a hipped roof. Half of the structure is open with the roof supported by heavy timber posts. The open portion is served by a fieldstone fireplace. The remaining half of the building is enclosed and access is gained via a wooden door. Three high window openings are outfitted with wood-paneled, protective doors. The enclosed space housed a water pump that moved irrigation water from the lagoon to the golf course."
