True. Sorry I made this such a big issue.
I was just trying to point out that you *could* still place those buildings if you needed the benefit from them.
But we like answering questions!
And, yes, you can place them.
I crafted the storm phoenix. Should I wait to place it? I crafted the brown and polar bears, but I am in ch 3. I have the FF, and I have already used RRs on it. Should I keep the bears until I am ready to get them later on? Neither of them have had , but one, the brown bear, has been evolved once.
That's a lot of questions!
I'm going to link some pages if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Scroll down to see the stats for each of the bases and click on your chapter number to see the stats for each level of the building.

Some people place a level 1 fire chicken (phoenix) and use it throughout until they reach the chapter where they want to evolve it (or have enough artifacts to reach the level they want) because of the boost it gives troops.
I don't know what you want to achieve exactly with your city, so giving advice tends to be "it's your choice" until there's more specifics in that regard. Personally, I weigh the space of the building I'm looking at versus the space of buildings that provide similar benefits versus the aesthetics. I like pretty things.
It's not what it's going to look like when I'm done, and I did like the aesthetic better with the Menhirok's Barrow where the Hazeltown is. But I needed the pop, so I had to make a decision. I don't dislike the appearance of it as it is now, and I stored the Barrow so I can pull it out later when I'm further along and can dedicate more space to my lovely wooded and watery alcove. (I do like how the water with the Hazeltown matches the water with the QFG pieces.)
Could I put all of that in storage and have more efficient buildings that would make my city more of a powerhouse? Most likely. I have two pieces there that are strictly culture buildings. Some players think those are a complete waste of space. Me? I like pretty art. I think the art department works really hard on giving us nice things to look at in our very busy cities, so I let it play a part in my decisions. You don't have to.
So, to answer your questions on what to place or no, what is it that you want to achieve with your city? What benefit are you looking to get with your polar bear? Are you wanting to be a tournament superstar like
@SoggyShorts? (He does all his provinces from level 1 to level 6 within about a half hour, he said in a post around here somewhere either yesterday or today.) Or are you looking for a 3x3 coin/supply producer?
Also to be considered: how far does your FS get in the Tourney? Are you focused on getting more chests than you get now? If your FS gets 10 chests, you get 5 RRs. For every chest over that's completed, you get another RR and an AWKP instant. Those RRs are what will let you level up event buildings when you get to the next chapter. So you'll need to decide how quickly you think you'll want/need to upgrade those evolving buildings.
And as
@LeviathanJob pointed out, you can always place it and sell it later on. I didn't mean to be unclear on that point initially. If you think it will benefit you now just to have a level 1 base in your city and the space wouldn't be used more efficiently another way, put them out there. If you decide it's hurting more than helping as you move through your chapter(s), sell it and craft it again when you think it will be more helpful.
