Geocache Description:

A cache in Olmstead's "crowned jewel of the Emerald Necklace", located precisely in modern day archealogical remains.

Searching for this cache will bring you to the Overlook ruins, which mark the site of the original Overlook Shelter, part of Frederick Law Olmsted’s park plan and one of the few buildings he designed. The ground floor was used as a changing area for boys playing sports on the Playstead and the upper floor had large viewing windows for spectators. In the 1920s and 30s the Overlook was a park police station. It burned in the 1940s just before White Stadium was built.
