Gillette made his fortune designing stage sets lighting and special effects
equipment, as well as being an actor.  He designed the castle to look like a
ruin from when viewed from the river valley below, for both river traffic,
and the railroad that ran alongside it.  Of course this is from the landward
side but the design is uniform in appearance.  In an interesting aside, he
also designed all the electrical switch plates and switches, all of which
are still in operation, apparently he was better than Edison, in that regard
as most original Edison switches have been replaced.

Job well done in that case, nailed the look 100%.
