A former mansion that's a mash-up of architectural styles houses arts-&-crafts tiles, antiques & more.
"Built in the early 1900s by Henry Chapman Mercer—an archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramist, scholar, and antiquarian—Fonthill Castle functioned as Mercer’s home and showplace for his many artifacts. He referred to the unique structure as his “Castle for the New World.” It is built out of concrete and includes quite the hodgepodge of building traditions (Medieval, Gothic and Byzantine). Upon his death, the massive structure was turned into a museum showcasing Mercer’s collection of tiles and prints." [Time Out]
