Just wanted to let people know that the photobucket , Celeste linked sometime earlier, now has photos of the "Kettering Science Center". It is vandalized and in very poor repair. I have read that it was never used. Very sad to see.

Nice to see your post Stax.. I think the Halcyon groupies including myself are fearful we will log in one day and Halcyon will be gone. We all know it will eventually happen. We realize it is much to late to save the old mansion. The architecture is compelling. Most will feel kind of cheated if we log in one day, and discover Halcyon is gone under the cover of winter when most are preoccupied with day to day issues. Stax, take care man.

YES, wanderer, ALL GOOD THEN? - am so delighted for you,
to enjoy the findings; saw your comment to Mr.Midford,
and thanks Celeste, links, also - awesome amount of pictures, really.
Lately appreiciate The Exterior MORE,
- as, too sadly lost interior is just such great pity, while the outside still actually has a bit of charming magic grace....after all.......addle..

Am soo far away in Sweden, and now realizing how cherished and loved this old edifice is, and studying the all pictures of breakup, decay + loosing, and wasting, it really IS heartfelt.

Celeste, Thank You! You are a Rock Star!
Oh, it is easy to find; - Just search/type:

"Maybe the last winter for this much loved building" flickr

and you will find 28 exterior pictures of Bennett College, in snow, with new fence, and all boarded up freshly, taken by Andy Milford 24thJan.2015 -
that is NEW to me - but one month old. Matter of opinion, guess.
Best wishes for success, wanderer.
Building is a terrible state honestly...
The sadness.....
