I hate it when the leave dity dishes laying around . can't they finish washing the dishes before leaving how rude! LOL

you talk a good game but you have no proof to back your baseless alligations.

That tree is amazing.

If you can see on the window to the left it says, '---lic Nails'...Acrylic, I'm guessing? and then under it it says 'Pedicures.' Ahh, what I would give for a day at the salon/spa...

yeah, the blood-red carpeting is definitely reminiscent of 'The Shining'

great!

God i remember walking these halls with my mother at a young age. 3 generations of my family worked here. My grandmother who worked here in the late 60's, my mother in the 80's till around 91-92 and my brother.

i guess this building hasn't been closed down long

y cut the grass if nobody's home

Wow! What an angle, indeed. It's a little extreme, and disorienting...but all the while, it's still quite beautiful. Lovely work.

This shot reminds me of the lyrics to a Tom Waits song.

"Your hair is like metal grass..."

Metal grass indeed. ^_^

Say, Mandy, I was one of 5 on full-scholarship. Three African-Americans from Poughkeepsie; a girl from Ecuador, and me. And I was only one of about 8 from public school (those three from Poughkeepsie, me and a few others). Bennett trained for more than getting an affluent husband. They had an outstanding music program and as Pat mentions the early education program. They also had the only bi-lingual secretarial program. They were training ladies to move on in life. Either marriage and family; careers; further education. Too bad, too sad. None of my friends at Bennett were "teepical Bennett girl". It's a big mistake to generalize.

One note - this shot is labeled "Front" but if memory serves this is in fact the rear of Halcyon Hall. Granted it faces the main road/junction but the Front faces (or used to) a beautiful long looping drive. With the chapel on one arm and a 60's era boxy dorm on the other. The field in the foreground was the Athletic (hockey/archery/and other lady-like phys.ed) Field, on which the great tents were erected for Commencement.

Yes, well we aim to please. And thanks to Tom Tom for all the chuckles! How could his "female guests" go wrong!!

why couldnt someone with a lot of money reopen it? They could recreate it to original and by the way are the people who caused the mismanagement in jail? BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE!!!!!!!
