I have a listing in Monument, in a neighborhood that sits next to Monument Lake.   Of course, I had to stop in and take photos, as it does have a beautiful setting right next to the mountains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a week day, and only a couple of cars were there, but bet it is busy on weekends in the summer months!

 

While I was taking photos - I turned around and saw this "building".    Wondered what it was in days past.   Could it have been an outhouse?     Not sure...

 

 

Fun seeing these type of structures, and wondering what there were in days past!

Thanks for sharing your photograph. Outhouses do not usually have windows.

Anthony, we used to have someone that took many photos of delapidated properties in the Country, but he has been absent in the Rain for sometime now.

Jeff, there was a very nice house on the lot too, and this one was in the back of the lot.

Roy Kelley that is a good point, also was thinking maybe this was a well house, never looked closely to see if there is one in the center.

We see lots of buildings like that in our area and those similar to that were smokehouses. It looks too big for an outhouse. Pretty lake photos.
