Description

The North Entrance Lodge of Wyandotte County Lake Park was one of numerous Works Progress Administration (WPA) structures constructed in the park. The National Parks Rustic-style building was designed to complement its natural surroundings. However, the building “has deteriorated to the point of ruins.” It can still be found along the entrance road off N 93rd Street.
