While staying in Clayton NY we took a little side trip to Boldt Castle. The story goes, that Mr Boldt had the Castle built for his wife, but she died prior to seeing it. He cabled “stop work” to the architects, and never went there again. Much of the exterior had been completed but not the interior, and it was left to languish and deteriorate, becoming vandalised. In 1977 it was taken over and has been slowly restored since then.
