I live in MIllbrook and this is quite the awesome building. Ive been in it several times and its really cool. The best place to enter for photographic reasons [ entry information removed as per site policy ]. Ive had many of my photos from this building entered in local contests. Great building, love the photos.

I hate to admit it, but I saw it when it came out in the States. That had to be the summer of 1977 or so . . . .

I wonder if it would payoff to rebuild a place like this, and show it of as a historical venue... This is a fantastic building, it's a waste that it is getting demolished.

my mom's house had a claw foot tub in an upstairs bathroom. i wished i took it out when we sold the house. the tub in this picture looks like it walked on it's own to the center of the room. "Nightmare Before Christmas" anyone? Where the 3 characters Lock, Stock and Barrel are in the claw foot tub and the tub is walking on its own!

Incidently, this particular collection of Motts is both my favorite and how I found my way to opacity. I had heard about an old abandoned school in the area and google brought me here. Hooked ever since.

Apparently the school was not actually founded there - it was actually in Irvington NY first. For those of you a little further away - Irvington is close to NYC but probably about 50 miles south of this location.
