A quick and scenic flight over and around the Stevenson dam and hydroelectric station after what seems like weeks of heavy rain in the eastern part of the country. The flood gate(s) was only partially open on one side so, the potential energy held back by this aging structure is enormous. *This area of drone flying is not recommended for the novice*

    Used to work here from April of 2000 to May of 2006 when I came on board to support building one of IBM's first server farms before they expanded into co-location sites in Secaucus, NJ. There were 3 main buildings - A, B, and C. At 1:08, the nearest building was C, the middle section was B, and the furthest out past the far parking lot was A. When I first started in 2000, this place was so busy that parking went all the way back to where the video starts. It was impossible to find any parking closer to the building if you came in past 9am. I think there was close to 4000 people working onsite at that time maybe a bit less. I remember a lot of bean counters and account executives working out of the C side. B building was where the datacenter and technical support teams worked out of. Managers mostly worked out of the A side of the complex. The middle section closest to the power facility was shipping and receiving, reception, and the cafeteria which was originally managed my Marriott Hotels for a short period of time. As the years went on, fewer and fewer people were onsite as most people were working remotely. I left when I had some family things come up back home but even at the start of 2005, things started to wind down for the onsite hosting environment as more and more of their offering was virtualized at co-location sites. Come to think of it, that was around the time IBM was divesting themselves of a number of their hardware divisions (laptops, hard drives, semi-conductor etc) and focusing more and more on services. To Don, Dave, Mike, John, "Cooney", Lucy, Lisa, Robyn, "The Floor Planners", the security staff.... and the "Great One" Jerry Mizell, may he eternally RIP.... miss you guys.

    I think this was the cash cow. They were maintaining all those lawns and getting paid. Once your first video hit, accountability stepped in. If the siding was removed, was the copper wire and plumbing removed too? Maybe the fire dept is going to use them homes as practice homes. If the street lights are on at night, that might answer other questions. An up date would be awesome to see

    Time to spill the beans it’s called southburry training school well that’s not the training school that’s where the nurses and family’s lived so they could wake up and go to work quickly also some people think it’s haunted because the nurses and workers that worked at the training school apparently did bad things to the mentally ill students so when the nurses died they made a grave yard for them and their spirits “ haunted the village”

    Buyer Beware. My brother was sold such a house w/out a Certificate of Occupancy. Quasi police from the Town were not able to be prevented from coming and coming to get my brother to say the words himself. "Get me OFF man." "I am wasted MAN." He had a 30 year mortgage and no Certificate of Occupancy. Any such mortgage should have been nullified but he was not a State resident living in that house to have the Town, State or County help him. How much the police sitting with him watching him inhale a roach were laughing when he knew to say the words himself even.

    I know a handful of people that worked at that facility and they all confirmed that the incinerator was never used as a crematorium. In fact laws and the Environmental Protection Agency forbid that to happen. Crematoriums have to have special licensing and special filtration systems for the exhaust that come from those facilities. The “stretcher” was likely placed in that area by a previous explorer to make it look as though that May have happened. So, the truth is “never happened”.

    Found online...This place is completely closed off to the public and has no car access, which is why most people don't know it's there. But it used to be residences for the staff of the Southbury Training School, a school for people with disabilities. To this day, the roads are maintained, the lawns mowed, and the hydrants freshly painted, in spite of the lack of residents, and it doesn't help that it's part of a 1,600 acre campus.
