		<description><![CDATA[At the May 7th Fergus Falls City Council meeting, the council voted unanimously in favor of drawing up demolition plans for most of the city&#8217;s beautiful, 100+ year-old Kirkbride building. The central administration section will probably be preserved, but the wings will be destroyed under the proposed plan. This vote came in spite of a [...]]]></description>

An article on the Boston Globe website includes an artist&#8217;s rendering of the Worcester State Hospital clock tower replica: Clock Tower: Time Isn&#8217;t Up in Worcester. Even though I&#8217;m very disappointed in the clock tower replica compromise and don&#8217;t think it could ever be a fitting stand-in for the entire building, I have to say [...]]]></description>

According to the Fergus Falls Journal, only one proposal for reuse of the Fergus Falls Kirkbride was submitted in time for the deadline on Wednesday: Only One RTC Proposal Submitted. That&#8217;s a little disappointing, but we Kirkbride enthusiasts eat disappointment for breakfast, right? I wouldnt get too upset just yet.
The proposal was submitted by Minneapolis-based Geitso [...]]]></description>

See this official report dated Friday, January 20, 2012. It&#8217;s a lengthy, wordy document which is painful to read in some respects, but the [...]]]></description>

As I&#8217;ve mentioned here and on the Kirkbride Buildings Facebook page, time is running out for the Worcester State Hospital clock tower. The entire admin is very likely doomed, but there is still a chance the actual clock tower will be saved.
