I’m hoping to go back to Bennetts school for girls sometime soon, fi I can remember how the hell to get there. Get some really good pictures when I buy a new camera.
Great website. Now that I found you, I will follow and possibly offer pictures or locations to follow up on. I have access to a few locales here in the Scotia area that might be of interest.
Onto GE Selkirk. I love a good ghost story, but I considered your source and then took a look at some history. Slavery ended in NY in 1827 and was extremely rare in NY even by that point in history. The buildings at Selkirk do not pre-date 1827 by any means. (In all honesty, that would preclude GE from even building on that land since it would be in a preservationist category.) (I was often told of a “slave quarters” on a local property…sadly that home itself was built long after slavery ended and the “quarters” were built in the 1920s.)
Great story, but history tells another story. I’d check your sources. In any event, I love your site and will offer some info very soon.
It’s abandoned down there. That hanger is full of graffiti and beer cans. It’s pretty cool down there.
I’m going to get a hold of my ex boyfriend and see if he has anymore pictures that I can post up to show you the inside not just the outside. Dear god the inside was so destroyed.
Parts of the floors were caved it, if not the floor the walls that had paint on it were peeling. We crawled through a window and came out the same way. I got so scared once it got dar it one of the rooms, I wanted to scream. I hate the dark with a passion.
He took my hand and brought me into the auditorium, it looks so bad, they’re was grafitti. You’d think something old like this people would take care of. Someday if I ever have the money I want to find out who owns it and I want to restore it. It’s just so beautiful, I want to see it back to the way it was.
Photo’s from my personal stash. Yes, I’ve actually been inside Bennett’s School for Girls in Milbrook NY.
Me and my ex-boyfriend share our liking for old things and abandoned buildings.
