thank you mag and sukanto.
i don't know anything about the history of the edifice.
my son and i happened on it when we took a "wrong" road on our way to Innisfree Gardens in Millbrook, NY.
it's enormous, and all in the same state of abandonment, except for a freshly mowed lawn ! ? !

it's that drooping eye on the left that gives this strong image the extra strength...

update
Sleuthing reveals that this was originally a Hudson Valley resort built in the early 1890s.
It became the Bennett School, a finishing school for girls in the first part of the twentieth century.
In the 1950's, when finishing girls became unprofitable as well as un-doable, it was expanded to a four year college until it finally closed in the 1970's.

It has been abandoned until recently when it's been rediscovered
by several flickrites.
see www.flickr.com/photos/xaphanz/240181899/
for a view of the complete structure.
