So, Pat, you're a Millbrookian? You know, the loss of this building is wrong on so many levels for the town of Millbrook. They were hugely dependent upon Bennett for many, many years - all those rich girls spending money in their little "shoppes." A good number of the original workers who created Halcyon were brought tho this country specifically for the construction of Halcyon. Now, Millbrook is home to Antiques and a haven for the "rich and famous." Just makes my blood boil - good luck with your project on Mr. Ware...
i remember when i visited here in 04 the security guards were actually driving around crazy-wreckless--and after running at breakneck speed back to our car we realized they didn't even notice we were there at all, they just kept tearing ass around the whole place. ...and this was at like, 1am on a wednesday night.
Wow, so often there are people who have noidea what they're talking about when it comes to Halcyon Hall. Looks like Pat Ratchet really has studied the place. Thanks for your interest, when the place is demo'd, my dad's spirit can finally rest.
And , by the way, barium is less expensive than lead, here in Germany, all walls are covered in barium sulphate(the stuff that a radoiologist gives you to drink when x-raying your stomach
only in therapy rooms walls are lined with lead. in x-ray diagnostic the beam is very weak. Belive me, I am a radiologist so I do not say stupid things( sorry for mistakes I made when writing, I am from Germany and I dont speak English wery well)
the Soapboxes are the backsides of overturned lockers. Vandals, Goths, Visigoths and an occaisional Hun have run rampant through this gorgeous old building. Too bad we can't shoot 'em. I do know some of the cooler stories from this place...
More than likely the cat was a stray who found its way into the building after it closed. It was probably old or sick, found itself a comfortable place, and waited for the inevitable. The discoloration around the bones is the volatile fatty acid stain left behind when a body decomposes. Insects, etc. probably picked the bones clean long ago...
Mr. Historian, thank you, i stand
corrected! i will inform my source that
they have made my attempts at
presenting history seem feeble and
amatuerish! by the way, where is the stanley hotel you refer to?
