The only thing that really makes this worth seeing is that it has spent most of the last 90 years under water. Normally, Elephant Butte Lake covers this area about 30 feet deep. Due to several years of drought, the lake has given up her building in the last few seasons.

I have heard ten stories about this place, and can't confirm any of them. I have been told is was a TB sanatorium, a Bureau of Reclamation office building, one of the HQ buildings during construction of the dam and more. All I can tell you for sure is that it is there, and if I ever find the truth, I'll post it.

In the future, this building will be a scuba diving trip.
