Levee Inn (Municipal Inn) restoration funding
Summary
The 1929 Art Moderne building in LeClaire Park — a former hot dog stand with nearly a century of Mississippi flood levels marked on its walls — needs about $300,000 in repairs. A fundraising plan leans on grants, major gifts, community donations and brick sales; without work soon, restoration could become demolition.
