Page 2 of 2 - The interior of Gillette's Castle |
The woodwork within the castle is hand-hewn southern white oak. Of the 47 doors within the structure, there are no two doors exactly the same. And each door has a handsome external latch intricately carved of wood. Even the Castle's furnishings are indications of Gillette's inspirations. The built-in couches, a movable table on tracks, and light switches of carved wood all point to his creative genius. |

The table by the fireplace had moveable pieces hanging down because there were lots of cats living here, and they liked to swat at the pieces and see them move. |
