The Donkey Barn is a rubble stone structure, originally constructed c. 1920 as a simple one‐story hay barn for the zoological garden and for donkeys donated by the Rotary Club for children’s rides. A second story with an “Alamo-shaped” facade, was added in 1956 when the building was converted to Parks and Recreation Department offices. It’s perfect for pictures!
