Monday’s Mystery

Big congrats to Cheri Sanders who was the first to say (regarding last week’s cloud pix) that the top one were Washington clouds. Also Roy Ruthford was second (and last) to correctly guess. Way to go, guys.

Here’s this week’s mystery…..the question and the answer. The above photo comes thanks to The Yakima Herald-Republic newspaper. The story, back on 22 Sep 2017, concerned the mystery of this beautiful stone fireplace that sits on the Central Washington State Fairgrounds. Seeing the story, a reader furnished the answer.

Seems that in 1932 a church was founded on the site, holding services in a log cabin with a big stone fireplace. The cabin is long gone (burned down in 1933 resulting from “a roaring fire”) but the stone fireplace has stood as a mystery almost 70 years.

Have you ever spotted that old stone fireplace on the Fairgrounds and gave it a second thought?? Or have you ever spotted anywhere something man-made and wondered about the story it might tell?
