Searles Castle (New Hampshire)
The Searles Castle is located in Windham, New Hampshire, in the United States. It was ordered to be built by Edward Francis Searles. Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1915. It was intended to be a 1/4-scale replica of the medieval Tudor manor of Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, England, but since most of the manor had been torn down in the 18th century, the castle bears little resemblance to the historical structure.〔Headley, Gwyn (1996). (''Architectural Follies in America'' ), pp. 71–72. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.〕 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1982 as the Searles School and Chapel.〔
==History and construction==
Edward Francis Searles hired architect Henry Vaughan to design Searles Castle. It is built of cut granite, fieldstone, and dark red sandstone, most of which came from Searles' own quarries in Pelham, New Hampshire. The castle is situated high atop the Searles estate. The cost of construction was about $1,250,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Searles Castle at Windham )〕
The castle consists of an entrance, a reception hall, a foyer, a dining room, a music room, a sun porch, a library, a grand stairway, a second floor guest suite, a third floor guest suite, a second floor rotunda (or balcony), servants' rooms, a kitchen, a butler's pantry, butlers' rooms, and a master bedroom suite which consists of a master bedroom, a sitting room, a bathroom, and a sun room.〔
