We call this building the “peony shed”. Why? I suppose because it’s a shed and it’s adjacent to 
the peony garden which is adjacent to the Cummins-Grill homestead out across from Flying Cloud Airport. It’s an old building. It may or may not be a historic structure. We’re researching our files here in City Hall for data on the structure. Why? Well, because while it just looks like an old building from the front, it looks like a dilapidated eyesore from the rear. If it’s just an old building, we’ll probably just tear it down sometime this winter. It has no function at this point, and it’s not only ugly, it’s probably an attractive nuisance. If it’s a historic structure, we will need to take photos of it and document its condition, and, possibly, restore it or tear it down and rebuild something of a similar nature and style.
So, the question is: How far do we go with a building like this? Tune in to a future blog to find out.
