Castle Rest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Castle Rest," the first of several "castles" of the Thousand Islands, was a distinctive architectural work of architect Solon Spencer Beman." Designed for George M. Pullman the structure became a landmark feature of tourist steamboat excusions when constructed in 1888. "Castle Rest" on Pullman Island remained in the Pullman-Lowden family until the mid-twentieth century when the main structure was demolished. Ancillary buildings designed by Beman remain on the island.
