Collapse

The weight pushing down on this wall has bent the doorframe in and bowed the center wall piece out.

What does the door say on the back?
Don't cha just kinda feel like that door sometimes?
this building is like the above ground Titanic. it's, well, spooky, but beautiful.
Janene,
Thanks for the correction on Alumnae Hall. I don't remember much about which one was which, I was just a tot when we used to drop my dad off at work there when mom needed the car. Pop worked there from the early 40's until the place closed in the wee eighties. We're all sadened to see this beautiful old building fall to ruin. In all the years dad worked there, I never had a single "tour" of the place. Both of my brothers remember the elevator shown in Motts photos - they worked there during summer vacations while the girls were away. Still, lots of fond memories and tons of dad's stories about the place - Meeting folks on the internet with similar interests in Halcyon/Bennett has been a wonderful experience. Maybe our collective energy can have a positive effect on the situation?

Isn't that something the way everything came together like that.
That door is trying, but it just can't continue to hold this building up! Great shot!
Wow...

Looking at this picture makes me wonder....................is the door holding up the wall?
