America's Lost Castles

America’s Gilded Age millionaires built literal castles, turrets, battlements, crenelated walls, and all. But with nothing to defend, why did they build them… and why did so many end up demolished, burned, or abandoned? In this episode of This House, Ken uncovers the rise (and fall) of America’s most spectacular lost castles, from early Gothic Revival experiments like Pratt’s Castle and Yates Castle, to Fifth Avenue royalty like the Vanderbilts’ Petit Château and Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s massive mansion, to icons across the country including Palmer Castle (Chicago), Boundary Castle (Washington, D.C.), Breakwater (Newport), Grey Court (Methuen), Linden Towers (Menlo Park), Beacon Towers (Long Island), Shadow Brook (the Berkshires), Inisfada, and more.
