A batch of photos from the workshop I took at Fonthill back in February.

Due to a points issue at Hazelhatch, all services had to operate via the Up Fast line. This gave the rare opportunity to step off a passenger train onto the Up Fast platforms (as any train calling at the four four-track stations serve the slow lines).

We took a tour of this place Fonthill, a poured concrete castle built by Henry Chapman Mercer. It was cool, but a little crazy.

I found this large tile on an out-building at what is now the Fonthill Museum, in Doylestown, PA. It was originally the home of Henry Mercer, a local entrepreneur.

Fonthill History

Built between 1908-1912, Fonthill was the home of Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930). Archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramist, scholar and antiquarian, Mercer built Fonthill both as his home and as a showplace for his collection of tiles and prints. The first of three Mercer buildings in Doylestown, Fonthill served as a showplace for Mercer's famed Moravian tiles that were produced during the American Arts & Crafts Movement. Designed by Mercer, the building is an eclectic mix of Medieval, Gothic, and Byzantine architectural styles, and is significant as an early example of poured reinforced concrete.
