I run into these structures often in my hiking around here:
Any idea what the purpose was for these buildings?
Anyone know what their purpose was?

Cinder block and sloped roof is probably to withstand weather/snowload so I'm wondering if it's a tool shed of some sort for the logging project there..?

That looks like O.O. Denny Park. I know there was a cabin or two out there, so perhaps this was some kind of storage? Although I have seen another one of these in the woods at Blyth Park, so I'm curious too.

Denny Park is correct--and that is the name of the album from which I posted that photo. There is also one of these structures off the Beach Trail, north end, at St Edward Seminary state park.

I assumed that the one in Blyth Park is left over from the construction of the Tolt Pipeline, a pumphouse or something that is no longer used.
But I'll admit my evidence is thin!

I've hiked a lot of the pipeline--often on a crutch or two--and have seen a lot of those structures along the pipeline. Maybe i need to try the folks at Seattle City Water ....

There's some interesting history of O.O. Denny Park on HistoryLink
The building looks like a generic pump house but the article describes most of the development of the original park in the 1920's and I doubt if that building is older than the 1950's. It's a mystery.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about that resource! I'll have to think of other resources for an ID of those blockhouses. Maybe the UW....
