Drove by it a lot during the high schools days in the mid to late 70’s. Of course no one believed me, so road trip from Carrollton to Crabapple . Way before cell phones and cell flashlight apps, all we had was Halloween and the light of the moon. Yes, we snuck on the property (no one living there yet, it wasn’t finished) and wandered through the castle via moonlight with some “boos” and screams mixed in for fun. The moat was dug, but no water yet.
We would always get excited when we passed by “the castle.” I always remember it there, for me it’s just a really cool landmark. I will say that in the eighties, I used to drive by the castle as it was in construction stage. There was a sweet man in blue Dickies that was always working around the place. Every weekday we compile our most wondrous stories and deliver them straight to you.

The Castle sat half finished for years. The wrought iron fence used to be 8′-10′ high as were the stone pillars for the fence (they still had the gnomes sitting on top 🙂 ). The fence has been lowered several times, I’m assuming due to city building codes or something. They used to have a big floating pool toy (maybe a penquin?) that would circle the moat. Yes they actually do open like drawbridges its pretty sweet!

Our neighbor did their Kitchen remodeling with Old Castle Home Design Center and they were happy with the design, installation and the quality of the cabinetry. We have looked many places in order to find the right products for our Kitchen remodeling project. It was a very stressful process for us.
We felt that there was a lot of care given in protecting our home so that nothing got damaged during the remodel process. We had natural stone installed on the floor, shower and walls. So much care was given in making sure all the pieces fit together and looked nice.
To the contrary, I too believe every man’s house is his castle. They just took the phrase slightly more literally than the rest of us. And in doing so, provided us all with a little interest, a little mystery, a little something DIFFERENT. Certainly, my parents – who live just minutes away from the castle, must have a smile on their faces each time they drive by. And the countless denizens of the adjacent affluent housing developments, when they’ve had “one too many” at the dinner, never have to wonder IS THISHH ONE MIINE?
We did absolutley no harm to anything and left with a great memory…By the way, I can attest no basement and round rooms. My friend’s grandparents were the ones who lived in this castle. MeeMaw and Pawpaw are very nice and loving. It is not subterranean and to add any interest you may have, in this home, the rooms are all circular.
For example, we had selected glass front cabinets, but when the cabinetry arrived most of the doors that were supposed to be glass were solid wood. Babak got the correct doors shipped on an expedited basis. If you are debating whether or not to get glass front cabinets, perhaps worrying about them looking messy, I strongly recommend the glass. We absolutely love the way our kitchen looks with just the cabinet and accent lighting on.
If you think it’s a curiosity now, just imagine all the buzz when it was being built. I was a teenager at the time and my family and I actually walked through the “castle” just as they were completing the construction. Unless there was some VERY well hidden passage way, there is no “man cave.” Actually there isn’t even a basement. When we walked through it appeared to be completed with the exception of fixtures, cabinets, flooring etc.
