is there any where safe to walk in the hospital (as a in each bulding)

I've looked at photos of Lemaire on a number of different sites...and what really gets my attention is seeing the past photos, with no greenery near the building, compared with later photos that are overgrown.

I just can't stay away from it.

That is a Western Electric non sync turntable set that would have been used to provide music for silent films. The platter in the forefront of the picture is one of the turntables. The projectionist would fade back and forth between the players as necessary. A headphone would be used to cue up the records. The wood boxes to the left would be screwed to the hinges on the main case are the covers which would protect the turntables when not in use.
It should be rescued even in the poor shape of
the case.
Were there any other projection or sound gear with it?

These are similar to what my sister has in her art classroom. Several people can get around them at once. Some of them have a center tower that sprays water down ~

i liv pretty close to dever and always go ghost huntin there. lookin for people who share same interest and are close by

Attention, F.A Manzi -- FACT: You sir are ridiculous! Your statement that the Village of Millbrook has nothing to do with the demise of Halcyon and no responsibilites in coming to this shameful conclusion is grossly incorrect at best. I can't quite determine from your postings whether you're a "real estate expert, running for public office, or possibly a developer," considering you're so well versed in the all aspects of these particular professions. You do seem to make a habit of misinterperating other peoples words in order to rant your inaccuracies (specifically toward Pat Ratchet and Donna). FACT: Bennett may very well have been tied up in private hands for a vast number of years, yet there was clearly a point long before Bennett was left to wither on the vine, that the powers-that-be in Millbrook needed to step it up and get involved in saving and preserving this incredible one-of-a-kind historic landmark, but apparently everyone was out shopping for antiques or socializing at the local winery. As convenient as it may be for you to do so, lets not ignore the truth that there definitely came a time when the building was ABSOLUTELY and positively in dire need of Millbrook's attentions. Surely there is no question that the elected officials of our fair village dropped the ball on this one for YEARS, when they clearly saw and understood the issues of neglect and insane vandalism going on at Bennett. And lest you have forgotten, YES, our communities and elected officials (past mayor Manzi included) have a direct responsibility to step it up and make every effort to preserve and protect those irreplacable monuments of Historical significance that assuredly affect an entire community -- and for vast numbers of us, our ancestral heritage as well. It's their JOB. It's not just about cutting ribbons and making pretty speeches -- pretending they don't notice the enormous building that's been graciously standing for over 100 years as a gateway to our community. FACT: Bennett was shamefully neglected for 30 years because no one in a position to do something about it cared to do so. This is yet one more shameful example of History being flushed away in an unequal exchange for development $$$, and it has nothing to do with an abundance of offspring, Mr.Manzi. (I'm assuming you don't have children, bitter, bitter, man...) It's ignorance such as yours, not progress, that has sounded the death knell for Bennett. The truly pitiful and abundantly sad truth about Millbrook, is that the fools don't even get what it WAS that made the village special. I can only assure you, it's not wineries, antique shops, or developments. And that's a FACT.

Lynne you are so so so Right. Me too.
