Unidentifed Building, Pere Marquette State Park

I've often wondered what the purpose of this building is (or was. It sits along the edge of the Illinois River, at Pere Marquette State Park, across from the lodge. The river doesn't have to be very high for ithis building to be inaccessable.

Here's a detail from last October

interesting...

I see the water lines on the brick. An interesting building.

A pumping station perhaps?

@jackies365 @louannwarren @graemestevens @calm Than ks all!

@vignouse Thanks Richard, that's a very good suggestion. The lodge was built in 1930-1933, and is a pretty large facility with lodging and restaurant and such. Pretty sure the stone lower level is just to keep the important stuff above flood level. Regardless, it is not being used now,
