"An iconic landmark and piece of architectural history. I hope they never take it down."
"i agree that building should never be taking down, plus i go there to just walk around and enjoy looking at the stars at night. It is sad that fergusfalls is trying to tear it down , because of people who contently vandalize the windows, but other then that its a great place with lots of history."
"How do you review a place with so troubled a history. Some people were treated horribly here, much like the other hospitals in the state hospital system. It's a beautiful building and setting in so many ways, yet has become somewhat of a ball & chain shackled around the ankle of the community."
"And to think the morons city leaders want to tear it down, which is pretty much set in stone. They would not know an awesome piece of History if it smacked them right in the face they are so stupid. They are so gung-ho on tearing it down and there is no reason to. The place is amazing. Target is closing, the mall sucks, and now they are tearing that place down. Seems like we voted a bunch of losers to run the city because there is nothing left. I would love to see that place saved but I know they are going to get their way and it will be demolished. Let's congratulate them for being a bunch of dumb asses!"
"This is right off the highway between Fargo and St Paul. You can walk around the buildings. the historyoy iof this place is amazing and terrifying. If there is such things as ghosts they must be here.There are a few spots where you can peek in the windows. The tile workis amazing , the structure one of a kind."
