It is part of a system of dams built to control water flow.
The Lake Alpine lodge was originally built in 1927, but that 3 story building collapsed under heavy snow just 5 years later. The current lodge was build around the original fireplace some time later.

How about some history of Lake Alpine? Who built it? When?
