"Today around 3:30, our beloved Mother Goose house collapsed. This was due to age and the stress added by the recent ice storms and flooding. She will be back," the account wrote on Thursday, March 24. "We will definitely need your help. Updates will come as soon as we know."
A GoFundMe to "Save the Mother Goose House" was set up and has since raised more than $8,250 from 202 donors. The campaign’s current crowdfunding goal is set at $10,000.

Raised funds will reportedly go to reconstructing the goose roof’s head and neck, according to the GoFundMe.
The Mother Goose Inn is considered a local landmark at 2906 North Main Street. Visitors have long traveled to the unique structure to snap pictures of the green and yellow tiled goose roof. The inn itself is shaped like an oval egg.
Original construction on The Mother Goose Inn was completed in 1940, according to KentuckyTourism.com. It was designed by railroad worker George Stacy, who reportedly completed the project within five years.
