Then I come along on some historic truss bridge Section 106 Review and am told a genuine historic bridge cannot be preserved because its "too expensive." This is ridiculous.
All I know is that they spent about 380K too much on it.
Tony and Mike, you're both wrong. It's obviously a snow cone stand.
...Or pull your lawnmower out of it to cut the grass!
Looks like you could pick up your photos while your are there...or maybe a chocolate shake.
When your HOA has more money than sense.
Seriously? They spent 400K on this???
They could've built a slab with a lid on it for a fraction of that... and it wouldn't have looked any worse. Wow!
Just curious what is little building, shed, next to it?

Oh lord, palm to face...
Using a timber truss to span 18-feet seems pretty ridiculous and for the low low price of $400K.
Not sure what to think about this thing, it looks as if you folks have the comments covered.
