Goodbye, Remington Arms!


This well-known paranormal hot spot was not just notorious for it's ghostly activity, but also known for being quite an eyesore.  So they're demolishing it.


I just drove by it, intact, about two weeks ago with Joe and commented on how it was a long while ago that they said they  announced plans to demolish it.  Well, a few days later they got crackin'.

General Electric owns the property after buying in 1920, and took nearly 100 years to make any changes.

I wonder if demolition will rid the site of all those spirits? The article below states that it might be the site of a newly built high school.  Ut-ohhhhh.  Lol.





CT Post- The demolition of the historic General Electric plant on Boston Avenue is nearly complete.
Built by Remington Arms in 1915 to supply munitions to czarist Russian troops, the landmark row of 13 interconnected, five-story buildings was sold to General Electric in 1920 and was officially shut down in 2007. Almost all of the bricks and broken concrete from the structure are being used to fill tunnels and flatten the property for future development, which could include a new Harding High School.
