Fonthill Castle at Mount St. Vincent-on-Hudson, 1967.

Built for Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, by Thomas L. Smith in 1849, this house has both Norman and Gothic elements. Inspired by Foothill Abbey in England, loopholes and buttresses give the structure the appearance of a fortified castle. The highest of its gray granite octagonal towers rises to 70 feet. It now serves as the library of the College of Mount St. Vincent.
