The City Council has recommended turning Casa Romantica into a cultural and educational center. The city will take control of the local landmark--home of the late city founder Ole Hanson and a popular wedding site--next month.
The $2-million project will modify the landmark to accommodate local and regional history, small-scale concerts, performances and lectures.
A section would be reserved as rental space for weddings, meetings and other events. There will also be new gardens and terraces.
