Yeah, I wish they could've saved this building a long time ago as well. I wonder if its still going to be demo'd yet. I do recall the forums mentioned it last year but no one has updated it yet. Its sad but this building has been rotting away since the middle 70's , I think it would cost tons of money to help save it now. Which is such a shame. That kinda of quality and workmanship is hard to find today. You probably can but the cost would be higher than at the time this was built.
Hi Motts, welcome back!! I've missed you for so long. I love your web site, have for a long time. I love this new Gallery and the updates to your web site they look wonderful. I hope you'll share more galleries in the New Year '14. Actually, I think your original Bennett gallery (the 1st one posted) is when I loved your web site. Thanks again, Happy New Year everyone!! take care .
Everybody thrilling at Bennett School For Girls, and goodness: what a thread - and this makes sense, and with the new Power Walking, am back again, also. Complementary is good. Place is awesome, so are You.
And it shows up really well in Google Earth, with good street view and all; this place is intriguing, original and a creation for imagination these days with its increased but dignified crumble, break up, decay and sunder.
Picture perfect, and pictures perfect.
..but i love hall-pictures...they will take me/lead me somewhere, and thus are necessary..
Still think you are a brave man. May you always be safe and well is my wish.
Definitely close to Nature these days, and yes, methinks the bench had a paillasse, or pad/squab stuffed with horse-hair, covered in embroidered woolen cloth, and so heavy it would always stay in place.
Good picture, nice place.
....a flimsy thin curtain still hanging after all these years, and the window open.....well done. It is a good window. With a view?
Bennett School For Girls shows up really well in Google Earth and with the timeline it is interesting.
Be well and stay in.......
Great to see you post more efforts Tom! Something happened in your life that has you distracted or busy elsewhere I imagine. Maybe you posted something about that in the forums, I can't say. Hope everything is well with you!
Somewhere on the net I read a whole story about this place and how it struggled to stay open. It was quite an interesting read.
