Accessibility
The Rice Place residence is an historic rammed-earth house constructed in 1937 by Clyde Rice. The driveway is compacted gravel, and the main entry to the house has an approximately 4 inch high stone ledge one has to step onto as part of the landing, which do not meet ADA accessibility standards. We have created a moveable ramp for the front door to make getting over the 4 inch high lip easier. Also we do allow the parking of a car very close to the front entrance. In short, we have had residents with accessibility issues and we pledge to work with any individual who needs reasonable accommodations that may make the Rice Place usable by them. We request an email to ClydeRice@faegre.org to discuss what the needs are and then we can attempt to find an accommodation to those needs.
None
Once inside the house, the first floor living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen are generally accessible.
The upper floor has a non-standard stair with non-standard handrails and is thus much less accessible than ADA standards. The property largely consists of old hay fields and near the river cottonwood trees and other riparian vegetation. During the dry summer period these areas can be accessed by car or other motorized vehicles that are capable of travel without asphalt pavement.
