At Font Hill, which is now a park in Doylestown, PA, an old farmhouse stands, hidden in the woods. It's now defaced by pointless graffiti, inside and out. Park officials have barred the windows, but kids seem able to get in.
This is a view of a second-floor window, decorated with spray paint and adorned with ropes.
Fonthill was the home of the American archeologist and tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Built between 1908 and 1912, it is an early example of poured-in-place concrete and features 44 rooms, over 200 windows, 18 fireplaces and 10 bathrooms.
Looking out the picture window in the Columbis Room in Fonthill Castle - located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is probably the only remaining original castle built in Pennsylvania. Henry Chapman Mercer began construction in 1908 at the age of 52 and completed construction in 1912. He used steel reinforced concrete that was hand mixed, hauled by Lucy his draft horse and hand laid. Henry was not an architect but learned how to build from books and his trips to Europe. The castle has 10 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, 5 terraces, 18 fireplaces, 32 stairwells, more than 200 windows, an Otis elevator and 21 chimneys and air vents. Henry died in 1930 at the age of 74 and willed the castle to the Bucks County Historical Society with the stipulation that Frank King Swain, the Moravian Tile manager and his wife Laura Swain, Henry’s housekeeper, could live in the castle. Laura continued to provide tours until her death in 1975.

Becky the Bianchi with Henry Mercer's home Fonthill in the back ground . Fonthill was built with poured concrete and features many , many of Henry's famous tiles from his tile works and is a museum for his collection of ancient tiles from around the world . Also I believe everyone of the many doors is from a European castle , chateau or monastery . Definitely worth a visit . No cameras are allowed inside , I think they are allowed in his other museums .

This is from a very recent shoot I had with a handful of photographers and models. We shot at Fonthill Castle in Doylestown and the location was absolutely beautiful. Our friend brought along this spine prop his friend had made and it really sparked everyone's creativity.
I'm currently working on drawings and application essays. It's about that time to begin applying. I can't wait... for it to be over and to commit. Here we go...

One of the best things about the London Flickr Group Photowalks is that my fellow Admin @Fozelek has a greater knowledge of some of the more off the beaten track bits of the city and therefore I keep discovering new bits of the city. The vibrant Fonthill Road is a good example of this and somewhere I'll head back to explore more soon.
Our next Photowalk is scheduled for Saturday April 20th, more details here if you're interesting in joining us for this free event : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From Wikipedia, "The 1960s and 1970s saw a large influx of Bangladeshis alongside pockets of Pakistanis, Indians and Burmese who settled in the borough. Many moved to surrounding locales as their economic prowess grew in the 1980s. They made significant contributions to local business and politics as well as to religious institutions (e.g. the founding of the original Finsbury Park Mosque). A number of immigrant-led businesses opened on Blackstock Road, an area associated with the Algerian immigrant community amongst others.
There had been a large minority of the African Caribbean diaspora arriving in the area bordering Manor House throughout the same period and as early as the Windrush generation. Greek Cypriots and later Turkish Cypriots started to arrive in the 1960s and 70s as economic migrants firmly establishing themselves in business through the clothing trade on Fonthill Road.
In the 1980s and 90s, immigrants included significant populations of Somalis populating the area as refugees and asylum seekers at the height of the crisis in their homeland and more recent arrivals of settled EU nationals from Scandinavian countries."
