Stone house in the gothic style with three-story tower, built in 1871 by Sylvester Beckett, who was a Portland publisher, attorney and poet. A passage from one of his poems, "Hester, the Bride of the Islands," reads:

If the soul dieth, if our years

On earth, of discord, joys, and tears,

Be all of life, then life is vain,

And Heaven's great work imperfect!

No! Death is but a second birth--

And man, immortal, oft returns.

Beckett died in 1882 and it is said that his ghost has haunted his castle ever since.
