Fairhope, Alabama may have lost many of it's historic homes but the CASTLE stands strong! AND...I got to go inside!!! NOTE: there are some variations on the stories. While WWII ended in 1945, it's unclear when Craig purchased the land and when the family actually moved in

I once came across a castle in of all places Southern California, I wrote a note and left it at the gate and told him how cool i thought this castle was, to my surprise i received a phone call from the owner that was hosting an old fashioned automobile "like 1930 club" and invited me to come.. it was amazing and amazing people.

When I was a child, I dreamed of castles like this home. In our basement I’d use anything I could find to make my castle. My little sister and I would play for hours in our fantasy castle.

I felt like i was back being a 6yr old child viewing this house.. The way a child sees something magical & wonderful & never questions its reality Thats how i feel seeing this! Just knowing it exists is wonderful! Id save up for a year just to visit it in real time To actually live in it...? Words wouldnt do justice to how that would be Id think id died & my creation of what my personal heaven would be, is this house The architecture & organic features remind me of Spanish Architect & painter/sculptor - Gaudi. Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona are jaw dropping & because i live in Britain, popping over to northern Spain for long weekends or holidays is easy Some of Gaudi's stuff is just amazing, the window frames in this house ( on vid) are very like his work There's a famous staircase & i think its in an apartment building In Barcelona which is used by the tenents daily & its so organic with twisting vines & the Epitome of Art Nouveau Im sure the chap who built this had seen some of Gaudi's work The lines & carving & shape Scream Gaudi, who was famous in his own time in 1880s France & Spain. Im saving this vid to keep watching because it has given me such immense pleasure Thank you dearly for this

This may turn out to be the best travel vlog on KZfaq. That part of this land, (East of the Mississippi River) has historical highways and railways and water-ways. With hidden-little gems of history stashed along the way. I hope this "easy to look at - non-side boob dame shows some of them.
