there sits the clock at Metropolitan State, resembling a big ben of sorts (or maybe so the patients might have thought at one time), now it sits, the hands rigid with the years, cobwebs gathering, time put to an eternal stand still.

I think I am in love with this site. This is amazing.

Sexy.

The little trap door, maybe a cukoo appeared on the hour. Such a joke in bad taste, but what the hell, the blackside has an upside.

I love the clocktower at Met. It kind of reminds me of the cupola on top of the admin building at the Fernald School, just down the road.

By the late 80's the clock tower had 4 different times...all were wrong.

A very trivial question that popped into my head when I saw this--in the old institutions built before electricity, what powered the clocks in the towers? Was there a winding mechanism in the attic?

the current met state condos have a U shaped building that has a cupola like this on top. Is it the original one restored?
