pat, you're welcome. I love to come on this site & see more from you on this place, the wonder that is Bennett. To everyone else that offers some insight on this place, please do no feel slighted that I have not thanked you too. So, to all of you, thanks, you too help keep her alive, if pat is the heartbeat, you are all the arteries & veins. So, again, thank you for all the info & insight you provide on the old girl. I do enjoy reading all the posts you all leave here on her.

I was in the powerplant building just a few days ago. It certainly feels like you are being watched. My boyfriend and I heard a few noises. At one point we heard a bang like someone kicked one of the file cabinets. I definatley want to go back soon! Does anyone know of building with alot of activity?

Flora, yes that was the NY press coverage of Halcyon's grand opening
ball. It was reprinted in The Millbrook Round Table in 1948, in the
local history column by my friend, the late Louise Tompkins.
Such a wonderful description, and so much emphasis on the women's fashion. From what i was told, many of these dresses became cherised estate heirlooms.
Sounds like they knew how to party in 1892. Dinner at midnight.
Kinda like Miami...

And you are absolutely correct about Halcyon's allure to NY society.
It was in fact devised as the mechanism by which a small group of
wealthy men could guide, and in fact auger the development of Millbrook along desirable social lines, specifically, an idealized reflection of
their own standing in the middle echelon of NY business and society.
I think architecture's singularly ability to accomplish this has always been one of it's most fearsomely powerful attributes.

As for the low level basement, perhaps they were considering some type of geothermal system?
