On of the intriguing sights in Falls Park to myself, is a gated stone structure, which reminds me of a spring enclosure or root cellar. Next to this is an engraving in stone, where you can make out the inscription date of 1934 and some carving underneath, which is rather vague. Can someone shed some light on this and explain its use at one time?

Q&Amy: The "jail cell" in Falls Park

from the article:

That spot, which my children call a jail cell but which is more rightly known as the grotto or spring house, is the site of a natural spring that once served a botanical purpose.

Tucked in the southwest corner of the park, behind the amphitheater, the spring house has a story intricately interwoven with the history of the Furman Arboretum that once stood in the area and drew visitors throughout the 1930s.
