Icicle Hazard
Fonthill Castle was the home of the archaeologist and tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer. We have visited this site on many occasions, but this was the first time that we came to see it with snow on the ground. Unfortunately, it was also very cold like 25 degrees and the snow melting off the roof was creating dangerous looking icicles
Built between 1908 and 1912, it is an early example of poured-in-place concrete and features 44 rooms, over 200 windows, 18 fireplaces, 10 bathrooms, and one powder room.
