I really want to go there..if it is still there!
but the problem is that i am only 13 and i live in the u.k....i think it is a bit far! Mum said we can go one day when i am older if it is still there!!! would we be able to go inside for a peeck? If people(the young ladds) were peckish could they go and get something to eat or would thay have to wait for someone?
i wished i lived in the U.S.A!!!

I retweeted your blog on twitter I wish that resolution help to cajole more visitors.

We live 10 Minutes away. It is such a shame, I was in a marching band in 1973 to 74 and we would play in the front field 2 to 3xs a year when the school was functioning. I still drive by and it just grabs at me to stop and look at it. It is still standing.

Halcyon Hall is definitely what everyone thinks of when they think of this campus. However, I would very much like to see pictures--even just external shots--of the other buildings, especially the Kettering Science Building that was completed just before the school closed and was this never used. The current development plan for that site calls for all but three buildings to be demolished, and so I would love to see what those others looked liked, even if they're not as 'charming' since they're not from the 1890's.

I drive by this wonderful testament to a history that I wish I could experience every day. Today, I turned to the internet to find the factual history, because it has been haunting me since I moved here. What an astounding portrayal of how every grand woman, no matter how beautiful will age, and we all stare at her, and wish we could have her back. I can still see her beauty, I wish there was somthing to do to save her......

I I attended Bennett College (1971-1973) I have so many wonderful memories of my time there. I was in the Berkshires last winter and went to see the school property with my husband. I was so sad to see this magnificent building crumbling to the ground. So sad that those responsible allowed this beautiful piece of history disappear forever. It was such a beautiful palace of grandeur!

If I had that view everyday, I may of just wondered off to go look. Well that's just me. Abandoned places interest me greatly.

I can just see ladies sitting out on these balconies in their victorian dresses sneaking a smoke and a sip of the old demon rum! ha!

Totally unreal elevator with spindle-like ironwork, would love to see this in person!
