General industrial stains. Many a building acquires them after a while (being in a city doesn't help).

what an amazing photo

id like to know if anyone else has been in any of the buildings and their expiriences.

What's up with the dark marks under the windows on the bricks?

Cowbiter, I contaced WQED about it, they simply said the dvd is not for sale. wtf.

Me and my buddies we're there a while ago. walking up these steps, there were paintball splatters everywhere. Dixmont would of been one hell of a place to play paintball..

Man, these pictures are really making me miss this place :(

there are other sections of the bennett
property affected by projected development. i believe the chapel,
]probably designed by Allen & Collens,
architects, sounds like a winecooler}is
a private parcel? preserved, anyway.
thegreat theater complex on the hill by the
golfcourse? i do not know its' status...
it was originally the stables/garages for the college.
the seperate dorms to the east of halcyon might be adapted for housing,
as might the newer addition to the
left, connected to the main building.
there are dilapidated victorians on the
property that will also probably kiss the
wreckin ball, as they need every god
damned inch of this spread.

the big ? is the condition/fate of the
science building, located at the most hidden/remote part of the property.
the road has been closed for years,
returned to grass.it was built the year
bennet closed, to accomodate
state science accreditaion requirements.
it was never used, was considered
state of the art for 1977, and was a huge
factor in the colleges's failure the following year., in addtion to notorious mismanagement. it has always been the most hush-hush aspect of bennett's real estate/development potential future.

this property has been rumored through the years [79-present]to be bought and used by[in order']
-paul newman
-rev sung yun moon
-the guinness corporation
-trinity college, dublin, ireland
ETC ETC ETC
it is now apparently, finally, making way
for mundane crap housing with a fancy
name, maybe halcyon terrace or gardens or view or commons or dale
or hill or....halcyon hole....?

were they kitchen-aid lol

Again those odd pink and green colors!

The towers with the windows in the middle of the view look like watch towers in a prison!

ive seen a few theaters in these places but what did the ppl watch if they were in these places because ppl thought they were nuts come on really think about it!

the way it just opens up like that on the right hmm i wonder exactly what it was for ??

So Mac that means you were one of the "few" "goodones" who were actully there to care and not torture!

were there handels on the outside i mean yeah i know they did not want patients coming out of the room but i know they HAVE to get it!
