This building in the Park at Beulah was constructed around 1920. It was used by church camp groups. Located behind the later site of the Horseshoe Lodge, it was eventually torn down.
In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in which more than 300,000 young men were enrolled to do constructive work in the forests. A group of these men were enrolled to work on the dam that formed Lake San Isabel on the St. Charles river between Rye and Beulah. The young men lived in the Mountain Park, and this building was their dining hall.
The CCC was disbanded in 1942.
