The Iowa State Fairgrounds will lose one of its oldest buildings - because it's gotten too new. Reports indicate that the house has been renovated so much, that it doesn't fit the fairgrounds historic perspective. Fairgrounds officials say the house really doesn have much of its original structure left. Its been a private home on the 125 plus year old grounds, and has been the place where the caretaker of the grounds lived. Since the current Director of Plant Operations doesn't live there, no one was for about six years, and so, the house will be torn down. Then, the fair board has to decide what to do with the land that's left.
