Description

Wyandotte County Lake Park’s gorgeous stone Shelter 7 is one of numerous Works Progress Administration (WPA) structures constructed in the park. “Shelter 7 … [was] designed with stone bases and battered stone walls. This creates the visual effect of a structure that is anchored to its natural setting and that seems to almost have grown from it.”
