Photo Challenge: Where in Milpitas?

With its bright and patriotic colors, this building would be a very good backdrop for an Independence Day parade and celebration in many towns and cities across the country. Even in Milpitas.

Upon close inspection, however, it’s not clear what this building is actually used for. There’s a French door and balcony. But is the balcony real or is it just decorative? What about the painted windows and shingled roof?

Hint: this building is part of a larger structure and it does serve a purpose. It has been part of the Milpitas landscape for many years and is likely seen by thousands of visitors who come to Milpitas each year to enjoy a particular activity.

Do you think you know what this structure is and where it is located? Bonus kudos if you can tell us what most people are doing when they see this structure? Tell us in the comments area below.

If you’re the first person with the complete correct answer, you will win a $10 gift card to a local business. And, more importantly, you can claim bragging rights that you’re this week’s expert in Milpitas trivia.

Game on!

While we had some close guesses, we didn’t have a winner in "Where in Milpitas?" mystery photo. The image was of an exhaust pump at the City of Milpitas Main Sewage Pump Station at 1425 N. McCarthy Blvd.
