About
This stone building known as Squire?s Castle? isn?t a castle. Rather, it is the caretakers house for a lavish mansion that was never built. The stone castle-like home was built in the 1890s by Feargus Squire, one of the founders of Standard Oil Company. He had planned a summer estate in the Cleveland countryside. His plans changed when his wife died. And the mansion never left the drawing board. However, the Squire Castle is still a nice place to visit although it has been stripped of its glass windows, interior walls and furnishings and had the basement filled for fear of vandals. Still, wandering this stone home is interesting. It will leave the mind to wonder what if? Bring a picnic basket and spend the afternoon in the forest by this century old architecture
What a beautiful quaint cottage. Would love to move in there myself (though think it may be a little drafty). Really nice picture & excellent write up... though shame there are so many trees in the way.
