YES, wanderer, ALL GOOD THEN? - am so delighted for you,
to enjoy the findings; saw your comment to Mr.Midford,
and thanks Celeste, links, also - awesome amount of pictures, really.
Lately appreiciate The Exterior MORE,
- as, too sadly lost interior is just such great pity, while the outside still actually has a bit of charming magic grace....after all.......addle..

Am soo far away in Sweden, and now realizing how cherished and loved this old edifice is, and studying the all pictures of breakup, decay + loosing, and wasting, it really IS heartfelt.

This is a video of Diane Odell in her iron lung. I'll admit that the machines alarm me. I've never seen one in person though.

While I love abandoned buildings I don't actually go into any myself. Not so with cemeteries. I have wandered in cemeteries all across this nation. When ever we take a road trip we look for signs pointing to cemeteries. We found a semi cared for cemetery in Northern OH with graves from the revolutionary war as well as all wars post. It was a very small area, but fascinating. There is a grave in Youngstown OH that is for a victim of the Titanic. A wealthy family erected a huge stone and the story is engraved for all to read. I could go on and on with the amazing cemeteries and graves I have seen. And exploring these is usually legal and has no hazardous sinking floors. So stop next time you see a public cemetery and get out and just walk a couple of rows and see if the information on the stones doesn't pull you to want to see more.

That would have been a prosthetic from an above the knee amputee. (I'm a below knee myself). The socket would fit on the upper remaining limb, but the bottom part, below the knee, is basically a metal rod. Sometimes they have an outer shell on the bottom to make it more realistic, but not always.

It was probably left behind because the owner outgrew it. The residual limb (stump) changes over time. I still have my first two sockets, although I'm pretty sure neither would fit any more. Possibly the most recent one would do, but I wouldn't be able to walk on it much without serious blistering of my skin.

Oh, it is easy to find; - Just search/type:

"Maybe the last winter for this much loved building" flickr

and you will find 28 exterior pictures of Bennett College, in snow, with new fence, and all boarded up freshly, taken by Andy Milford 24thJan.2015 -
that is NEW to me - but one month old. Matter of opinion, guess.
Best wishes for success, wanderer.
Building is a terrible state honestly...
The sadness.....
