Book Description:
In 1905, the New York Times called it “the Castle of Mysteries,” and rightly so. Located on Dark Island, Singer Castle was modeled after the castle described in Sir Walter Scott’s Woodstock, complete with dungeons, turrets, labyrinths, and even secret passageways. World-famous architect Ernest Flagg designed it for Singer Sewing Machine Company president Frederick Bourne. Singer Castle provides an unforgettable tour and fascinating history, revealing why this place is truly a castle of mysteries.
