You can't save this one...it's gone now.

The back area leads to the cemetery...Through the woods.

The mansion predates the school significantly.

Mike--What was in the basement?

The roof Paul fell from had walls as high as four feet...Hard to climb. Trajectory is not correct for an accidental fall. Talk to the Chief.

Jerry--can you please contact me? elise.alexandria@gmail.com

The mansion has been torn down. It actually collapsed on its own and they took it down. All that remains is a little of the foundation. They are building a park instead...

Chris--There are no historical records to back that story up. I heard the same thing as did everyone else in Goshen. When I asked around, there are no reports to substantiate it and no death records as well.

I wrote an article a few years back about Paul's death. I spoke to the Goshen Village police about it and they re-opened the case after the stories of molestation came out. I've seen the crime photos and visited the school. The trajectory of his fall does not match with an accident. It's more likely he was pushed or thrown off the roof due to his position and distance from the building. The roof itself would be difficult for the boy to climb alone. Also, the time frame from the ME was wrong. The whole case was never really investigated. And now...who knows? It's something I am still looking into from time to time. It doesn't sit well that it happened right there with a building full of people and no one knew a thing. The parents sued about the door to the roof being unlocked as well. It's crazy. Anyone who'd like to discuss it further in any aspect...elise.alexandria@gmail.com Probably bothers me the most since we share the same last name.

The State School is one of my favorite places to go!! Weird i know...I live the town over and have visited many times...i have just recently seen the theater and fell in love with it!! i have been in most of the other buildings...but ur shots of the theater are amazing...you captured it just as it is.
