Who Would Really Want to Live in the Eugenics Record Office?By Aaron and Melissa Dykes When we inquired about where the Eugenics Record Office was located, we werent given an answer either. We were told we could check with the Carnegie Institute library on campus which, of course, wasnt open at the time we were told to go there (and the tour guide obviously knew it). When you do a search for the Eugenics Record Office online, you can quickly find Cold Spring Harbor Laboratorys rather elaborate eugenics archive (complete with animated eugenics tree loading page such a nice touch), but theres nothing about an address for the ERO and all the information about it is vague as to where it is actually located at. This resulted in us driving around for over an hour trying to find the place just based on 100-year-old photographs and a vague description in a New York Times article about it being less than a mile from the lab itself. Well we did finally find the office tucked away in the woods a ways up the street, almost completely hidden from view of the main road by trees, in a spot few would likely check. An official sign out front proclaims it to be Holly Hall, but theres nothing online about when it was named that or if it is related to the ERO time period for the building (1913-1940). And apparently its for sale (not that the realtor mentioned anything in her glowing description of the property that it was built by Mrs. E. H. Harriman, a prominent eugenicist and mother of Skull and Bones alumni diplomat Averill Harriman, specifically to house the Eugenics Record Office either). In fact, theres only one article that shows the modern day house and links it to eugenics, but its a completely misleading fluff piece titled, Rich Cribs: Cold Spring Laboratory was to fill this home with eugenics records. No, its wasnt going to be filled with those records. It was filled with them. That short blurb goes on to imply that the house wasnt built by Harriman for the express purpose of a eugenics research facility. Either someone has utterly failed to do even a hint of research or someone is purposefully trying to cover up the houses true past. Nowhere in the ads for the house or that article is it mentioned that this place is directly responsible in large part for the passage of eugenics laws across America that resulted in the forced sterilization of tens of thousands of people a heinous act based on racism and elitism passing itself off as science. But really who would actually want to live in the former Eugenics Record Office? The whole place seemed haunted by its negative, ugly past. In the brief moments we were there, the feeling was palpable. It was glaringly clear to us that they want this place completely forgotten and lost to time. Too bad for them. Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com as an outlet to examine reality and the news, place it in a broader context, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, grasp the underlying factors, know the real enemy, unshackle from the system, and begin to imagine the path towards taking back our lives, one step at a time, so that one day we might truly be free Wonder where they moved all the records to? So Alexander Graham Bell was the Chairman? Wow! You might want to note where this was, which I think is Long Island, NY, not Cold Spring, NY. Journalism 101, please? Long Island is a big island off of the coast of New York state that encapsulates many cities. This place is located on Long Island. The full specific address of the location, officially Laurel Hollow, New York again, located on long island is listed in the video. Thanks. Put it in the article. Journalism 101. Oh and thanks for letting me know where Long Island is. A big help since I live in NYC. Great work, Melissa! I laughed, I cried! Thank you, TruthStreamMedia for the TRUE investigative reporting!
