This is a really neat story of a pretty eccentric guy. It's in Doylestown, PA- The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works- as well as Henry Mercer's home; Fonthill. You weren't allowed to take pictures inside which was such a bummer because the inside of both are simply phenomenal! Here are a few shots of the outside of Fonthill, and the tile works.
This the the Tiles works building- it is still a working factory...
Here's a few pictures of Fonthill...
at the bottom is the "Spring House" basically the refrigerator for the home at the time and it had water channelled into it...
There's actually a lot of neat information about this place and Henry Chapman Mercer, I'll try to get back on here to tell you more later, I just wanted to share these pictures of what is often called an American Castle.
