Anybody know what this was?

Back in the '80's I served at CAFB. Being from Tyler, it was a nice assignment. I lived in Ridglea (?) off of Vickery, and used to walk to the used record store by Monnigs a lot. I think my favorite resturant was Caros out on University.
A civilian friend and I used to go to this place by Lover's Lookout on Lake Worth. It seemed to be what was left of a house. There were rock walls on the outside perimeter only, and they were only 3 feet or so tall. There was some type of cement for the flooring and two fireplaces with standing chimneys on the inside. On the lake side, there was a trail which led to an uncemented stone staircase. I can't remember how many steps there were, but there were quite a few. As I remember, the steps led down to a HUGE rock partially inside the lake. The rock made a natural dock, of sorts. It was a perfect swimming spot, of course - I didn't know there were 'gators in there at the time!
Does anybody know what purpose the building served? I have always wondered.
