    Castles

    Chateau Fairmount belongs to a family of stone houses built across North America in the decades around 1880–1930, when Gilded Age owners and their architects borrowed the castles and châteaux of Europe. This gallery gathers its cousins: Biltmore, Lyndhurst, Searles Castle, Hammond Castle, Boldt and Singer Castles, Oheka, Olana, the Newport mansions, the Crane Estate at Castle Hill, Bancroft Castle and others.

    Photographs are from public collections and Wikimedia Commons, each credited with its author and license. Press a picture to read about the house.
