Voorhies Castle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Voorhies Castle
The Voorhies Castle is a Victorian home located in Voorhies, a small community loccated south of Bement in Piatt County, Illinois. ==History== Nels Larson, a Swedish immigrant who at one point controlled all the land in Voorhies, commissioned the house for himself in 1900; construction was completed in 1904. The two-story house was designed to resemble a Swedish palatial manor, and its name comes from its castle-like appearance; while its design resembles Queen Anne architecture, its symmetrical plan distinguishes it from the style. Its unusual appearance made it a local attraction which drew visitors from throughout central Illinois. After his wife Johannah's death in 1914, Larson abandoned his castle, which sat empty until the 1970s.〔
