wrecked

Halcyon Hall at the Bennett College property, circa 2011.....The hall was built in 1893 in the Queen Anne style. Now it is just being allowed to collapse.

The college was closed in 1977 when it could no longer survive as an exclusively women's school. Nearby Vassar almost suffered the same fate a number of years earlier but became coed and has since thrived.

It's amazing that nothing was ever done with this property in what is probably the most affluent New York area north of Westchester County.
