Lido Country Club * 1930s
Category: Monuments Lost
The Lido Country Club stood on the shore of the Spanish Lagoon at the Pos Chiquito side, next to the bridge which was built in 1930. It may have belonged to the L.W.V. Water Plant which was built across the lagoon in 1932.
Very little is known about the history of this building or the club.
It could have been built in 1930 or soon after in that same decade.
The early L.W.V. water plant building is visible in this picture, from the 1930’s.
In another picture of the same water plant, what looks like the stone foundations of the country club building are visible.
The building could have been demolished by that time.
Pictures of the building show it empty. There are no known pictures showing people in it. There are no documents from that time mentioning the Lido Country Club.
A few years after it had been built it was taken down, it seems, since it is no longer there in other pictures of the lagoon or the water plant.
It remains one of the few mysteries when it comes to built heritage in Aruba.
