Park Behind Hillers School

[Kaffekat]

Behind Fanny Meyers Hillers school in the park off of Polifly / Sutton for a number of years- at least during the 1960's (and who knows for how much earlier) there was a barn.
Oddly plopped off to one side of the park in it's own little area of old period paving.

There it was: an old barn- flagstone floor, hayloft and all.
At one point when they redid the park, they tore the old barn down. The more I think on this today, the more it frustrates me.

What was it doing there to begin with? Why did the city (at least for some time keep it in the middle of a city park).
I would assume at least at some point it was considered of historical interest or why keep it at all. 
In that case why was that lovely old building eventually torn down?

Does anyone out there know anything of the history behind this barn?  When it was built, where it came from.  Pictures? Anything about it would be greatly appreciated. 

I would love to know!

I recall the barn. Do not know the history of it. We climbed into it one time through a second floor window accessed by climbing a fence and a tree. We always thought it was haunted by a cow that died there. Then again we thought everything was haunted. I recall they used to store maintenance equipment there, mowers, tractors, gardening tools and such. I think there were even trucks parked in there. It may have supported several city parks. I remember the merry go round in that park, would get about 40 kids on it, some kids pushing from the inner portion and really get that thing cranking. Inevitably somebody would lose their footing and get thrashed like a Ben hur movie. Oh the humanity... and fun!!!
