The City of Marshall has moved forward with the demolition of the old Fitzgibbon Hospital.

City Administrator JD Kehrman said the city preserved the cornerstone and an old time capsule from the old structure.

Kehrman said the contractors began working on the site on Wednesday, October 19.

Kehrman said the demolition should be completed in a week and that the cleanup of the site should be done prior to the contract deadline. The Marshall City Council has not made a decision on what to do with the property at this time.
