I did a double take when I drove by this place on Thursday, its amazing. I walked up to the front entrance to take pictures and asked a guy already doing the same what this place was? He replied I dont know, but Im expecting Jack Nicholson to walk out the front door! Bennett College was a womens college founded in 1890. The school closed in 1978 due to the growing popularity of coeducation in the 1970s, Bennett found itself struggling to survive. An attempt to upgrade facilities and convert to a coed college in the mid-1970s left the already troubled college in financial distress leading to bankruptcy. When the heat was turned off, water pipes burst, causing major water damage throughout the building. Large portions of the roof have collapsed and trees can be seen growing through parts of the building.
