Castle Hill Crane Estate
Richard T. Crane Jr. purchased Castle Hill and Castle Neck from the Brown estate.
He created a lavish summer retreat for his wife, Florence Crane, and their children, Cornelius and Florence.
The Cranes made their home on the hilltop.
They first built an Italian Villa, completed in 1912, But replaced it with a 59 room English-style mansion, completed in 1928
As part of our tour we were given cards to represent guests who stayed at the Crane estate. The tour guide talked to us as if we were those people.
Notice the toe tester.
Views from the back of the house.
Interesting but disappointing.
I expected more than just sitting in a room listening to the history of the trials.
They had scenes showing the different moments during the trials.
