Geocache Description:


In 1869 Samuel Holladay claimed part of the land which had already been designated by the city as a park (now Lafayette Park) and built himself a mansion at the hill’s summit. After more than 40 years of lawsuits defending his claim to the property Holladay was ultimately awarded ownership. Following his death in 1915 the mansion fell into disrepair, it was eventually demolished, and the city reclaimed the land. Considering the views from the summit it’s no surprise Samuel wanted it all to himself.

Even though you are way up high, you may want to look low.

The cache is small and may be surprising for some.

There will likely be muggles about, so please replace the cache carefully.
