" The citizens of Crookston should make it clear to their elected
leaders that they want the (Palace/Wayne hotel) building preserved.
While we are sympathetic to the County Commissioners who see the
building chiefly as drain on scarce resources, we cannot state too
strongly our view that tearing it down would be akin to burning a
Rembrandt because you can’t afford to have it cleaned. Every effort
should be made to find the money needed to stabilize the building
until a suitable reuse can be found. Once gone, it can never be
replaced."
