The current location of the cabin does not improve its educational potential. The 1912 North Pumping <br />Station and parking lot dominate the view, with Memorial Hospital and the busy traffic of Michigan <br />Street prominent on the site, with the cabin seemingly nut of plain amnng the turn of the century <br />structures. Not only would its relocation to a historic context improve Its potential, but it would unify <br />the vistas of Leeper Park East in the turn -of -the -century style intended by Beyer and Kessler. <br />Today, the rehabilitation of Leeper Park East is prominent in the future plans of Venues, Parks, and Arts, <br />and the relocation of the cabin will make it possible for Leeper Park East to be restored to its landscape <br />environs as originally planned. We believe that It is time forthe Navarre Cabin to finally be moved with <br />intent and forethought and find a forever home that realizes its educational potential in an appropriate <br />historic context. <br />Children enjoy the Cabin Days at the Navarre Cabin. At the new site, programs like <br />Cabin Days will be held more often, making scheduling easierfor schools and <br />maximizing attendance. <br />46 <br />
