WPA crews started this native-stone bathhouse in April 1938 as part of a big project to turn Mount Magazine into a forest and recreation area, with roads, bridges and two new lakes. About 2,500 WPA and Resettlement workers took part. The Forest Service still runs the bathhouse at Cove Lake Recreation Area.
