I think it is currently own by Southern Vermont Health Care and they have not decided what to do with the property. There is a somewhat recent article here: Bennington Banner Article
Not sure if that helps much. Good luck. It is a beautiful building!

Back in the 80s I had a friend who was night security for SVC at the mansion. We would go up there and party all night. There is a lot of weird noises coming from that place in the middle of the night.

Ooooh, I see the ambiguity in that acronym now! Yeah the other way is a VERY different post title.

I run into it all the time at work in the ski industry because of the company POC. I don't know whether they mean Piece of Crap, People of Color, Point of Cost, Point of Contact, Port of Call, Point of Care, Proof of Concept...

When it was SVC it was available as a wedding venue so there are pictures out there somewhere.

I live not even 10min from the place and in July 2016 I had my wedding there. My wife and I were the first people to approach them in over a decade. One of the best days of my life!
Sad to see it not being used these days though..

They just wanted someone,anyone that would take the night shift. It’s creepy as fuck in there at 3:00am.

Beautiful! And in Vermont?! It has more of a 1930's German aristocratic vibe to it.

I know, right? It's interesting all the various mansions and castles built in the Northeast around the same period.

Ever go in Everett’s cave? We used to explore that when we were kids.

Wish you could still visit, the library was so beautiful. Went there 2007-2009

My best friend got married there a few years ago. It is a gorgeous venue.

Does anyone happen to have a point of contact for this facility? I'd like to do some photography on the grounds if possible. The number on Google is disconnected. I know it was previously owned by Southern Vermont College, but I'm not sure if they still have any ownership or operations that I could coordinate with since closing down a few years ago. Any help is appreciated.
