Interesting that American bombs didn't touch it...

I'm with Fireman1374, I have been often and have looked at all the places all over again, LOL. Great to have you back. Going to check out the new gallerie!

rhetoric- my friends rhetoric- no falling of the walls of Jericho- yet

Thanks to a conversation with TomB. recently, and your report here, as well as a visit to the Forbidden Places pages, was able to visit this site the other day, with great pleasure. It is still possible to enter the underground section, if one does so quietly and unobtrusively. The cemetery above ground here is well worth a long stroll around, in the far back there is even a large copy of Rodin's Thinker, and many other beautiful sculptures. But the below ground galleries are truly out of this world, in many years of exploring cemeteries, have never seen anything quite like this place. Am posting some photos on my blog, which can be found by Googling " Magic Lantern Owen"... And remain a serious admirer of all that you do here on Opacity.

where is this place? I am trying to find the location, with very little luck

Yeah for morgues!!

Man, it was really great going into 93 until recently some dumb kids from another town got trapped inside. Since then, they've blocked up almost all of the entrances and I haven't been able to find a single one...anything still know how to get in in 2012?

More tough talk about the Bennet Parcel! But not from me, but
Millbrook's mayor, who has expressed "impatience'' with the
failure of the owners of Halcyon to comply with demolition, an order
still being adjudicated in the state supreme court, a ruling that will
almost certainly uphold the VIillage code.
The day before foreclosure for back taxes, the corporation that
owns the property paid the almost $300,000 in back taxes to the
Village.Penalties of $250 per day are being accrued as well.
As Choice a property as it is, it is still not worth the cost of demo,
without a development component, hence the hesitation [refusal]
of the village to seize the property, which is highly contaminated.
{My advice-Stay The Hell Out!! That place is extremely Dangerous,
now.]
but people continue to crazily tresspass...be careful folks.

A leak in the Village water system has been traced to the Bennet Complex, where the theft of copper piping has been identified as the culprit. As the original entrance to Millbrook, Four Corners, or South Millbrook, even before Halcyon, was a nexus of roads, cow trails,
the railroad line, the road to the County Infirmary,a prominent church,
and two prestigious boarding schools from the early 18oo's.
as well as other very little known sites of great historic import,
overshadowed by the great hotel / college.
An overlay of mapping of the vicinity from different eras is absolutely fascinating.

The mayor has commited to meeting soon with the owners, but has
acknowledged that the village has no definite plan moving forward,
in light of the cost of demolition, wildly underestimated to cost
3-5 million, dollars. Yeah. Try again. It will be more.

The owner had a plan in place. It doesn't matter if you or me or anyone
didn't like it, it provided for the disposition of the problem in conjunction with a commercially viable development ostensibly
sympathetic to the site.

How in the world do you demand a corporation to spend eight million
dollars of their own money to get rid of a problem they inherited from
countless former owners, including the FDIC by the way. Why wasn't
demo compliance the big jazzy order of the day when the feds owned
it? Because they didn't want to pay either. There BROKE, just like you and me. If I owned Halcyon i'd shrug my shoulders as well, ya know?

But i have also said i would cover it in glow in the dark paint, or make it
the set of a movie. Perhaps some sort of Scoobie Doo type thing.

My husband and I found the morgue today and while we were taking pictures heard an unearthly angry noise. We ran out to find no one was around. My husband feels we got something angry in there. Also a steel door closed behind him in another building. As much as I would feel more comfortable believing these were nothing.....I am sleeping with the lights on tonight

There were doors in another place with this cut-out; may be it was also for ventilation, not passing food in, and the grate taken away.
Awesome find! The pictures you share give me so much to ponder and think about. It is very nice, indeed! May you always be well is my daily wish, and i thank you, too.

The lone hair-dryer FTW! They were left behind, like the chairs, all over these abandoned sites. They did have their hair fixed, nice thought.
Wonderful shot; book on the floor and the reflection in the mirror, and that cerulean BLUE, even the pipe painted. Like a lot! May you always be well and stay in focus.

Can't go up nor down. Just... there. For no reason. And no logical purpose.

Even the most holy will fall at some point...

I love the lit-up EXIT sign, it adds colour to the blandness of the hall.

Well done, thanks again.
