BU Castle
The Boston University Castle (or BU Castle or simply "The Castle") is a Tudor Revival-style mansion owned by Boston University on Bay State Road.〔(Boston University | Office of Conference Services )〕 The school typically uses it for receptions or concerts, but also rents out The Castle to cater events and special occasions. The BU Castle achieved a small amount of fame in 2007 as a filming location for the Kevin Spacey movie ''21''.〔(Actor, producer Spacey brings filming to BU Castle - News )〕 ==Architecture== The building was cited by architectural historian Bainbridge Bunting in his ''Houses of Boston's Back Bay'' as displaying “the most convincing medieval effect of the area.” According to Boston University, the building's founder, William Lindsey, would have been pleased by this description. Lindsey had derived his inspiration for the Castle from the great manor houses of Tudor England. "The imposing style of these medieval mansions held a special allure for Lindsey, who, besides being a successful businessman, was also a poet and playwright. His writings, such as The Severed Mantle: A romance of medieval Provence and The Red Wine of Roussillon, a blank-verse drama set in France during the Middle Ages, reveal the same fascination with the antique and the romantic that pervades the design of the Castle."〔(Boston University | Office of Conference Services )〕
