Work in Progress, Most exterior is finished, decorating work still in progress.  Basement levels relatively unfinished.  Landscaping still needed.

Halcyon Hall was the main structure for Millbrook, Ny's Bennett College. A 200 room Queen Anne Mansion, Built in 1897 originally as an upper class hotel, was later sold to Bennett College, a girls only finishing school.

Over the years the school had to adopt to changing social trends, and eventually went co-ed. However, later, during the upgrade of various facilities mainly a science building, the school fell into bankruptcy. They tried merging with nearby schools, but failed.

Unfortunately once the doors were closed in 1978, the heat was turned off and during the winter all pipes in Halcyon Hall burst, causing severe water damage. The deed went through several owners and banks for many years, A number of attempts were made to save the property in the 80s and 90s, but all attempts failed for varying reasons.... mostly political and childish ones.

It was left to rot uncared for to this day. It stands in glory even as a ruin and a shell of its past. She maintains her beauty,

Even so

She will live on in MineCraft.

Version 3.0 now nearing completion.  The other two versions were not acceptable and didn't really reflect the real original building.

House has been increased in length by a total of 10 blocks, unfortunately this will take a month to do the touch ups of the edit. Most walls need to be redone and recalculated. Some exteriors will need to be redone as well.

Despite the glowstone chimneys, I think this looks pretty nice.
