If these walls could speak! Built in 1890, Halcyon Hall started out as a luxury hotel for the wealthy with five stories and two hundred rooms. Unfortunately, the hotel did not do as well as planned; so in 1901, it closed down. After a few years (1907), a school teacher from New York moved her school for girls there and more buildings were added, which eventually led to it becoming a Junior College (Bennett College). By the 1970s, it began sinking into debt as more coed colleges were popping up, eventually going bankrupt in 1977 and thus was abandoned. Despite being placed on the National Register for Historic Places, it was demolished in 2014.
