We had the opportunity to visit Squire's Castle in Ohio while visiting some friends. It was built by one of the founders of Standard Oil Co as a gatehouse for his estate, but the rest of the estate was never built and all that is left is this shell. There is a nice park surrounding the structure with hiking trails through the greenwood. Quite beautiful, I like the Ohio woods. Sharply rolling terrain behind the castle would have been a neat place for a hill- or ridge-top castle proper. A neat little place, I wouldn't call it roomy by any stretch and I think it would have been expensive to condition the air inside during the hottest and coldest months.
The below pic was taken with my phone ( funny that my phone takes neater pictures than my nice camera ) with 360 Panorama. It was free in the app store, so grab it while you can before they start charging for it if you're interested.
