Fonthill Castle and the Administration Building of the College of Mount St. Vincent

Fonthill Castle and the Administration Building of the College of Mount St. Vincent are two historic buildings located at the College of Mount Saint Vincent in The Bronx, New York, New York.
==Fonthill Castle==
Fonthill Castle was built in 1852 as the country estate of Shakespearean actor Edwin Forrest and his wife, the actress Catherine Norton Sinclair. According to Lawrence Barrett, the plans were formed by Mrs. Forrest and approved by her husband.〔(Barrett, Lawrence and Forrest, Edwin. ''Edwin Forrest'', James R. Osgood and Company, Boston, 1881 )〕 Steven E. Smith noted that in laying the cornerstone, Forrest set into it a few coins and a volume of Shakespeare.〔(Shapiro, Gary. "The Trials of 19th-Century Bibliophilia", ''New York Sun'', January 31, 2006 )〕 The castle was located on the slopes above the Hudson River as the Hudson River Railroad planned to lay its tracks along the river. The name Fonthill was derived from William Beckford's Gothic Fonthill Abbey in England.〔("Fonthill Castle", Historic Campus Architecture Project, The Council of Independent Colleges )〕
Forrest later sold the property to the Sisters of Charity of New York who relocated the Academy of Mount Saint Vincent from McGowan's Pass when the City of New York was developing Central Park. The castle has served as a convent, chapel, museum, chaplain's residence, and the college library. It later came to house the admissions office of the College of Mount Saint Vincent.〔
Fonthill is a Gothic Revival style building consisting of a cluster of six octagonal towers at varying heights, built of hammered grey stone. Five of the towers radiate from a three story central tower. A sketch of Fonthill’s octagons among the papers of Alexander Jackson Davis suggests that he had some part in its design,〔 although it has also been attributed to Thomas C. Smith.〔 In 1942, the castle became the Elizabeth Seton Library and, in 1969, the college admissions office.〔
