This is the Riley Jacques Barn. It is located in Riley Lake Park. In 2003, the City approved a rehabilitation project for this barn to remodel this building into a facility that is usable for the public and for the City to use a new programming space.
As of March 31, 2004, the project is approximately 20% completed. Here’s a summary of the project to date:
- footings are completed
- santary sewer has been roughed into the building
- windows are 90% installed
- roof is complete
- plywood flooring in the loft is 80% completed
I will be touring the site tomorrow with a small group of Councilmembers. I took this photo on a cold winter’s day. I am looking forward to seeing the inside of the barn as well.
