An effort by city lawmakers to at least temporarily hold off on demolition of the Trico complex, a nationally designated historic structure, isnt enough, preservationists said Wednesday.

The Common Council unanimously agreed this week to impose a moratorium on issuing demolition permits for the former windshield wiper factory until Jan. 1. Two weeks ago, the Council rejected an effort to designate the complex as a local landmark.

It doesnt mean much, said city Preservation Board member Tim Tielman. It is window dressing. It would have been much better to get it designated a local landmark.

The Preservation Board had appealed to the Council to designate the Trico complex a local landmark, which would have given the board greater oversight over plans to demolish or re-use the building.

The measure, the second of its kind to come before the Council, failed in a 4-4 vote.

Though Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen voted against the designation, he sponsored the demolition moratorium and said that if plans to redevelop the complex get under way before the end of the year, he would be open to extending it.

If there is a developer that can be found for Trico, that can do what some folks claim can be done, there is time to do it, Pridgen said.

Principals with the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, which has development rights to the sprawling complex at Washington and Goodell streets, were opposed to the landmark status for Trico, but said they would work with Preservation Buffalo Niagara over the next six months to find a reuse for the building.

Hopefully we can build upon the leads they might have had before and help make that happen, Matthew K. Enstice, president and CEO of the Medical Campus, said Wednesday.

The moratorium lengthens that period to seven months and formalizes it beyond a handshake agreement, Pridgen said.

Demolition is underway at an iconic building in Fulton. The former Nestle plant has been vacant since Nestle consolidated its chocolate production operations a decade ago. But as our Katie Gibas reports, with the demolition comes hope for a new era.

FULTON, N.Y. -- For a century, this building was a staple of the Fulton community. It was one of Nestle's many chocolate manufacturing plants.

"We had the roasters at building 58 and you could smell chocolate in the air," said Fulton Mayor Ronald Woodward Sr.

In its prime, 1,500 people worked at the factory in Fulton.

"It was huge. You can't talk to a family here that some of them didn't work there. Whole generations worked there. My family worked there. I was the last man out of there. My brothers worked there. My father worked there. My mother worked there," said Woodward.

When it closed a decade ago, about 450 people lost their jobs.

"From a financial impact, it was bad for morale number one. But they provided $22 million a year in payroll. People were paying mortgages, debts, groceries and gasoline," said Woodward.

Now that icon in the community is being torn down to make way for new development.

EAST LANSING (WWJ/AP) - Demolition of a 113-year-old building on Michigan State Universitys campus is on hold after a fire burned through its roof.

The fire was reported Wednesday evening at Morrill Hall on the north end of campus. It took crews about two hours to extinguish the fire. No one was injured and the building was empty at the time.

East Lansing Deputy Fire Chief Troy Brya saidthe fire appears to have started in debris on the roof, part of which collapsed.

Demolition work started on the buildingin March and was expected to be completed in August. Its unclear how long of a delay the fire will cause to construction dates.

Nicknamed The Coop, Morrill Hall once was a dormitory for female students and also housed home economics classrooms. In the 1930s, it was converted to classroom space and named for Justin S. Morrill, a former U.S. senator who pushed to establish land grant universities.

In 2010, the schools Board of Trustees approved a plan to take down the building and move the departments housed there into a Wells Hall addition and a renovated Old Horticulture Building. Demolition and walkway construction will cost about $1 million, MSU said.

Waterville - Demolition crews have started tearing down a church that's stood in Waterville for more than a century. The historic church will be replaced with low income senior housing.

Crews have started taking the roof off of the St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church on Elm Street.

We're told a shortage of priests and high maintenance costs were behind the decision to try to sell the church and eventually tear it down.

Maintenance costs are roughly $50,000 a year according to folks on the scene today.

Although the church hasn't been used in years, there are people in central Maine who are sad to see it go.

"It's part of the family. It's tough to see it go," said Lee Danley of Danley Demolition, the team tearing down the old church. "One of the problems the diocese has is to try and explain to people that they just can't keep them up. You know nobody is using this church. Nobody has used it in years. Same as the other ones I've been looking at. They've been vacant for years. You just can't keep them. You have to move on."

The demolition crew tells us the steeple will come down later this week and the church and the surrounding buildings should all be down in about a month.

The low income senior housing project is scheduled to be finished next summer.

Demolition Crews Start Tearing Down Historic Waterville Church

India, May 15 -- The residents of Exclusive Floors in DLF City Phase 5 clashed with the police on Tuesday, protesting the demolition of the main security barrier and the guard's room in the complex.

The irate residents said the demolition was carried out by "goons" of Lancer International School in connivance with the Gurgaon police and the staff of the district town planner's (DTP) office.

"The school has been trying to encroach upon our space for long. Since the school authorities have flexed their political muscle, the administration is supporting it too," said Vijendra Singh, the secretary of the residents' welfare association (RWA).

Functionaries of the RWA and the residents said that no official order for the demolition was served to them though the DTP staff supervised the demolition carried out by the "bouncers" of the school.

Local councillor Mahesh Daima said: "Residents have been subjected to the 'dadagiri' of the school owner and no one has come to their aid."

Joginder Mann, the owner of the school, however, denied the allegations. "Our staff was inside the school and we had nothing to do with it. The demolition had the legal mandate of the court. I have suffered losses worth crores of rupees as the RWA refused to give me way through the colony," he claimed.

"We were shown an old court order of 2011. According to that too, the demolition is illegal," said another member of the RWA.

On the other hand, Gaurav Phogat, station house officer at the Sushant Lok police station, said, "I went to the spot as the police personnel there called me up saying that the residents were angry and needed to be reined in."
