Once Upon A Time
 |
| Bennett School For Girls Millbrook, NY October 2011 |
Several years ago, we were poking around upstate, aimlessly meandering on back roads, and found this crumbling building. At that time, we were able to get fairly close to it - now it's heavily chainlinked, and there are condos right up against the property line. The building is visible from a state road, but in order to get close enough for a decent photo, we went off-roading in the Mini.
Now known as the Bennett School, it was built as a hotel, and then turned into a women's college. It finally went out of business in the late 70s, and has been crumbling ever since. According to Wikipedia, and other sources, it's about to be demolished. The Urban Exploration Resource has lots more photos, including ones of the interior.
It's haunting me.

"Not decay, but maybe desuetude...?"

Working Boat
I love getting twitter mentions and emails with notes and photos:
Thought (most fondly!) of your interest in decay when I saw this yesterday.

The Erie Canal
Yesterday's New York Times Magazine had an essay about rowing on the Erie Canal, replete with photos of decaying locks and crumbling buildings.
It's lovely, and makes me want to book a charter boat, so I can float through and see those locks myself.
