Travel the world in Pennsylvania artist s Fonthill Castle | Henry Herald Travel

A castle like none other, this former home of Henry Chapman Mercer is as unique as Mercer was. Fonthill Castle was built between 1908 and 1912 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Mercer was an archaeologist, ceramist, scholar, anthropologist and antiquarian. His intention in building this castle was that it would be his home and a showplace for his collection of tiles and prints. He was known for his Moravian tiles produced during the American Arts and Crafts movement. He gathered ideas from places he had traveled and things he had seen when creating his masterpiece castle, a mix of Gothic, Medieval and Byzantine. It is one of the earliest examples of a hand-mixed poured concrete structure.

It was around 9:30 on the evening of June 24, 1910, when the flames were first spotted. A fire, so went the initial reports, had engulfed a barn just outside town. But when the fire brigade arrived at the scene, they found neither a barn ablaze, nor panicked farmers with their lives and livelihoods hanging in the balance.
