Sorry I had page open too long before I posted wiki link ;)
I wonder how much it would cost to repair that roof?
.... good question. Although, if this were a real castle, you’d have unlimited serf labor and it wouldn’t matter.
My friends and I would go there after dark when it was all but abandoned in the late ‘70s. Its last iteration had been as the “Eastern Academy for Boys”, a military type school. I went up on the roof at that time and trees were growing out of what looked like bitumin. Cool place. I had a dress uniform from there for years that I used on Hallowe’en. There were racks and racks of them in the basement.

10M to remodel but might be worth it if they can find a buyer for 150M.
