Proposed Development Sparks Memories for Former Bailey Hall Residents

 Add After years of abandonment and neglect, the Katonah property off Harris Road that once housed the Bailey Hall Boys' School will likely become a new housing development. But to Katonah residents Bernard Roberts and Amy Pectol, who once called Bailey Hall home, the new development is being built on sacred ground.
"It's a large plot, I wouldn't like to see it over developed," said Pectol, who is now the tax receiver for the town of Bedford, but spent her youth living in Bailey Hall as the daughter of a teacher-turned-headmaster.
"But I think the planning board is doing a very careful job of what they're going to allow up there," she said, and her father, parking enforcement officer Bernard Roberts, agreed.
While engineers are still refining plans, details submitted to the town planning board on May 11 included 17 new homes on 15,000 square-foot lots. The subdivision is also likely to include affordable housing units.
The emotions they feel about Bailey Hall are about more than a 20-acre plot of land, but a family heritage of alternative education and a connection to what once was.
Bailey Hall opened in 1921 as a private residential school for the mentally challenged. Roberts' parents soon became involved in the school, and he moved onto campus as a teacher upon graduating college in 1968.
His daughter Amy was born in 1969 and by the mid-70s, Roberts became headmaster. Pectol attended Katonah-Lewisboro schools but grew up at Bailey Hall until she was nine years old. She says she never realized her living situation was atypical.
"We were brought up with it, we understood from a very young age," she said. "We never questioned it."
Pectol cherishes the time she spent growing up at Bailey Hall, both for the facilities she had at her fingertips--ranging from art studios, basketball courts, and a pool-- and for the student body which she considered a large family that taught her important life lessons.
"We learned a lot of patience, a good sense of humanity, purpose and duty," she said. "We incorporated them into our day-to-day lives."
The Roberts family hosted Thanksgiving dinners that would range from 50 to 70 guests, including students who could not make it home for the holiday. As a teenager, Pectol often returned to Bailey Hall after school to read to the students and to see how they were. As headmaster, Roberts often found employment for students in the community to help them earn money and independence.
"It was really a fascinating thing for me to try to help these kids out," he said.
The truth about Bailey Hall is a far cry from the "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (or, for the younger generations, "Shutter Island") reputation that has shrouded the school since it closed in 1987. The school was subsequently sold to a company that quickly went bankrupt.
When the premises burned in the mid-90s, both Roberts and Pectol were shaken emotionally.
"That was hard," Pectol said. "I have not been up there since. I won't. It's not my home anymore, it's not where I grew up."
Emotions aside, Pectol acknowledges the tremendous architectural loss of the Bailey Hall campus. The architecture was beautiful, she said, with blue marble fireplaces, a hand-carved wood bannister, and an oversized mirror. They were buildings of historic significance, she added.
As the property is set to rebuild into new family homes, both Roberts and Pectol hope that Bailey Hall will be remembered positively by the community.
"I personally saw it as one very large family, with all of its failings and benefits," said Roberts said. "It's a part of our town history. And it's really kind of special that it was here."
