Saint Michael's Clock Tower


Saint Michael's Clock Tower is a Baroque-style
building which stands at the heart of Raccoon City.
It has become a beloved icon, and residents consider
it to be emblematic of the city as a whole.


Saint Michael's Church erected this tower in 1908
with the assistance of several philanthropists.
It was dedicated to the children born in the
developing city, and the first floor was used
as an elementary school for many years.
The city saw further growth during its electrification
over the course of the early 20th century,
and the student body of Saint Michael's Elementary
swelled to over 600 students.


Unfortunately, Saint Michael's Elementary was
shuttered in 1978 as the building began to show
signs of age and wear. The clock was deactivated,
and strict limitations were placed on entry to the
surrounding premises.
Years passed with this once-beloved monument and
public plaza on lockdown, but in the 1990s the
Umbrella Corporation worked in league with Mayor
Michael Warren to renovate and reopen the area,
this time with proper preservation efforts in place.
The clock tower was officially reopened in 1993,
and today the sound of its heavy, tolling bells can
once again be heard throughout Raccoon City.

セントミカエル時計塔


ラクーンシティの中心部に
どっしりとそびえ立つバロック様式のこの建物は、
セントミカエル時計塔と呼ばれ
街のシンボルとして市民から親しまれています。


この時計塔ができたのは1908年。

発展途上だったこの地域に子供たちのための
施設を作りたいと考えたセントミカエル教会が、
篤志家からの寄付を募り建てたもので、
当時1階部分は小学校として利用されていました。

1960年代以降、電化が進み街が急発展するとともに
小学校の生徒数も一気に増加し、
生徒数は最大で600名を超えたと記録されています。


残念ながら建物の老朽化に伴い
セントミカエル小学校は1978年に閉鎖。
時計塔は稼働停止し、立入も厳しく制限されました。

しかし市民の憩いの広場が閑散とする状況を見かねた
アンブレラ社が、マイケル・ウォーレン市長に
改築費の全額寄付を申し出たことで建物の保存が決定。

1993年、時計塔は再び時を刻み始め、
荘厳な鐘の音がラクーンシティに戻ってきたのでした。
