Narrative:
I entered the VFR pattern. Turning short final with flaps 20 degrees 80 knots IAS I felt a bit high and made a slight power reduction. With that power reduction the motor quit. I enriched the mixture but the motor would not restart. The winds were down the runway at about 20 knots and I became concerned that my glide path would impact a storage building so I turned to the right to avoid the structures; holding 80 knots IAS. I cleared the airports southwest boundary fence by a few feet as the stall horn went off. Good touchdown but due to the maneuver to avoid the obstacles I now had a strong left crosswind component. I saw a steel pole ahead slightly to the right and applied full left rudder; aileron and brakes; but was unable to avoid the pole which impacted the right wing. The plane came to a stop and we secured and evacuated. The motor was running normal and very well enroute. I suspect the motor quit due to the high altitude and fuel/air mixture.
