There is a lot of discussion in the community regarding the problem of Adin Randall's legacy. The original home will possibly be razed, as it is costly to move it and only the main part of the building is still structurally sound. https://www.leadertelegram.com/news/front-page/historic-eau-claire-home-likely-to-be-razed/article_687f3e38-6b98-591e-bcc6-b5f8bc2b20f7.html
The reflecting pond that once was a part of his statue installation in Randall Park was already removed some time back https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM30731.
The neighborhood association is considering renaming it's self (Historic Randall Park) due to Randall being somewhat of a notorious bad character in the early days of Eau Claire. His own historic marker references his misdeeds. 160.32.2.1 (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
