Narrative:
I was landing a piper cub J3 the aircraft had touched down and was transitioning to the three point attitude when it started to yaw to the right. Due to a fluctuating winds that had produced a quartering tail wind; the aircraft yawed to the right. I [applied] full left rudder and left brake with little or no effect. I then rolled the aircraft to the left the aircraft then started to correct when the right wing tip impacted a building causing the aircraft to turn into the building. Then the spinner impacted the building stopping all residual motion at this point the aircraft came to rest in front of the building.
