very sad pic

I would loved to have lived in the early days of these types of buildings. I love the archetech of them.

Yes, the extremities are gone. However, what can be done is replication of millwork profiles which can be taken from what remains. Much of the stone work is probably O.K. There also seems to be a photo archive. All it takes is money. God knows there is no shortage of cash among families of alumni. Maybe somebody will pony up!

this place is way beyond restoration and I'd be the first one to hurray for it's resurrection too bad cos MIllbrook used to be a neat community but has given way to the modern world charm {???]

Hi Folks & Pat- I ran accross this site inadvertantly because it was mentioned by Artist Andrew Wyeths grand daughter, ( Anna B. McCoy)that she attended drawing and painting classes at Bennett. Today she is in her nineties and sells her work through the Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland, Maine. Her work is stunnig and in the Wyeth tradition. If this American treasure is still slated for demolition, lets form a restoration coalition! Historic preservation is my specialty. Any one interested?-Ken

Canda - fascinating, you spelled "col" and 'terrafing" wrong but nailed "claustrophobic."
