Travel: Chateau Laroche

The Loveland Castle is a museum situated at the bottom of a short, steep, city street, tucked along the banks of the Little Miami River a few minutes north of Cincinnati, Ohio. Built in the style of a Medieval castle, construction began in 1927 by Boy Scout troop leader, World War I veteran, and medievalist Harry D. Andrews. He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. The project took more than 50 years. At first, Andrews pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons. (Wikipedia) Comments | Permalink
