POTD: Halcyon Hall, Bennett College, Millbrook, New York

The photograph above is from an article at the Daily Mail, "Abandoned and suspended in time: Haunting images show grand palaces and mansions from around the world that have fallen into ruin," featuring photographs from the book Abandoned Palaces by Michael Kerrigan. As for the photograph above, the article relates:

The daughters of New York State's elite spent the halcyon (or, at least, formative) days of their young womanhood at Bennett, pictured, once a highly prestigious college in New York. It had, however, undergone a long decline through the mid-century as mixed education became the norm and finally gave up the ghost in 1978. Its main building, Halcyon Hall, dating from 1893, had been distinguished in its day: it certainly makes an atmospheric ruin.
