Lord's Castle is a historic house at 211 Hammond Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Rufus Lord built the home in 1886 on property purchased from Oel Farnsworth. Lord, who owned a prominent construction business in Waltham, was known for his work on the Company F State Armory at Sharon and Curtis Streets.〔Mannon, Melissa. ''Images of America: Waltham''. Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, 1998: 102. ISBN 978-0-7385-6482-1〕 The 2-1/2 story masonry house was built as a private residence inspired by Norman castles. Its most prominent feature is a large three-story circular tower with extensive corbelling and crenellations, details that are repeated on the main block of the house. It reportedly took Lord ten years to complete.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Lord's Castle )〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔 ==See also== *National Register of Historic Places listings in Waltham, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lord's Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
