Castle Thunder, Historical house in Catonsville, Maryland.
Castle Thunder stood as a substantial residence on Frederick Road, constructed using late 18th-century building methods with multiple architectural elements and design features.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the final surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, built Castle Thunder in 1787 for his daughter Mary and her husband.
The structure transformed from a private residence to an inn and later functioned as a private school operated by Carrie Coale before the Civil War.
The Baltimore County Public Library Catonsville branch now occupies the original location of Castle Thunder, marked by a commemorative plaque installed in 1966.
The property remained standing for 120 years until 1907 when Senator John Hubner purchased and demolished it to construct a new residence for banker Arthur Montell.
