Description
Pennsylvania is full of quirky, fascinating destinations, from a house made to look like a shoe to a coffee shop that looks like a coffee pot to the wild, wonderful, weird world of anthropologist Henry Mercer.
In the early 1900s, Mercer changed the area of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, forever with his Fonthill Castle.
The castle is a huge building from at least three different architectural styles and is a rare example of a poured in concrete structure. It has 44 rooms, over 200 windows, and – rare for that era – 10 bathrooms. The furniture here is built into the floors and walls are accented by tiles created by Mercer’s tile plant.
