n Wilde Lake Dam Wilde Lake is a man-made lake, W carved out of a low-lying field. It is named for Frazar Wilde, the chairman of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, the first financial backer of Columbia. Construction on Wilde Lake dam began on July 26, 1966. Crews worked day and night, seven days a week taking advantage of the extremely dry i summer. The concrete gravity dam was built in less l than three months. The decision to work quickly d proved prophetically prudent; exceptionally intense rainfalls began shortly after completion. A unique feature of the dam is the textured face. e The forms used to pour the cement were lined with five-foot long slabs of bark cut from trees removed from the lake bed. Mort Hoppenfeld, Columbia’s chief planner and designer, conceived the design and L process that gives the dam its unique feature. n The Cove The Cove was billed as Columbia’s first “luxury” apartments in 1967. The design is a a modification of the Cross Keys apartments, an earlier development of The Rouse Company. Bob Tennen - baum, a member of the original design team, notes in k Creating a New City that the site plan for The Cove is inspired by the Italian seaside town of Lazise, pictured e in the June 1967 issue of Architectural Review magazine. Of note is that one of the Cove units functioned as a guest house in Columbia’s early days. There was no hotel in Columbia until Cross Keys Inn opened in 1972.
