Grey Towers Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Cheltenham Township, US.
Grey stone walls adorned with Indiana limestone trim define this residence, featuring forty rooms with ornate woodwork and French Renaissance architectural elements.
William Welsh Harrison, co-owner of Franklin Sugar Refinery, commissioned architect Horace Trumbauer to construct this mansion in 1893 after Rosedale Hall burned down.
The Mirror Room exhibits a François Lafon ceiling painting depicting four seasons with cupids against a zodiac background, reflecting late 19th-century artistic preferences.
The castle now functions as part of Arcadia University, housing administrative offices including Admissions and Financial Aid, with student accommodations on upper floors.
The Great Hall extends three stories high with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, surrounded by balconies displaying 54 nineteenth-century tapestries throughout its levels.
