Around the turn of the century, some of America’s wealthiest and most famous people turned a new breed of architects and builders loose to explore new styles and structures. The results were some of the most distinctive homes ever built in America. AMERICA’S CASTLES visits some of these landmark homes, including Mark Twain’s Nook Farm, who said of his mansion “I was born modest, but it wore off.” A splendid example of Stick Style High Victorian, the home features 19 rooms furnished in opulence by Lewis Comfort Tiffany.
