The Rest of Hammond Castle (part 4)

 Hi everyone. Happy first Friday in 2023. 

Friday means it is time for Friday Face Off over at Nicole's blog and also for Friday Lunch Break over at Gillena's Lunch Break blog.

Today I'm back with the last of my photos from Hammond Castle.  (The other 3 posts are here: Part 3, Part 2, and Part 1.)

We've had so many holidays since I started posting about the castle, let me just refresh in a few sentences. Hammond Castle is in Gloucester, Massachusetts and was built by John Hammond, who was a prolific inventor in the early to mid 1900's. He was also eccentric, and since he wanted to live in a castle, he built one for himself. And since he came from and also made lots of money, he furnished much of the castle with antique pieces he had shipped back from his trip to Europe.

I have more face photos to share today. Let me finish off my visit photos with the more lived-in rooms of the castle. Some of them have been turned into more of mini museum style rooms.

Imagine having a comic book made about you.

This next photo display has lots of faces, including a lot of them in the large center photo. That photo is from a radiograph conference in London in 1912 that Hammond attended.

These music panels had some interesting faces. They were over my head so it was a bit hard to get  good photos.

And for a few views inside, here's the renaissance guest bedroom and

a not so fantastic photos of some faces behind a glass panel in that room.

No faces in this next photo but I loved the melted wax.

And in the colonial guest room, there were these faces.

And here and there in random spots were some cool little tiles like this one.

Meanwhile in the dining room, they had this cool tile floor. It reminds me of the one in one of the big cathedrals in Dublin, Ireland.

And who has a war room in their house? Hammond did. I guess because he could and because he invented so much technology the military (Navy) picked up. This battle mural went around most of the room.

And here's the library.

And this modern bathroom. At the time this house was built it was  usual for people to have indoor bathrooms quite this updated, so I wonder if this was later fixed up. 

Here's a boot cleaner and another face for you.

And I want this many cabinets in my kitchen.

And  to finish off, let me show you the view Hammond had from the front windows of his castle.

Here's the oceanside view of the castle.

And off we go through the doorway into a new day and year. 

Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoyed all the views of Hammond Castle. Have a great start to your weekend.
