The little red barn near the Farmers Market Oaks at Moncus Park is being torn down, officials with the park said on Friday.
Moncus Park says the barn hasn t been actively used since the early 2000s, and has sustained extensive damage from hurricanes. It s lost large portions of the roof on the backside, and the park says last year s hurricanes caused even more extensive damage, expediting the need for deconstruction.
Park officials say they ve loved having the barn as a backdrop for the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market that brings memories of Acadiana s history of farming. Fortunately, though, the barn s materials will be used in new projects throughout the park, including decorative features in the new Treehouse and restroom facility.
