Canterbury Castle, Historical villa in Arlington Heights, Portland, United States
The three-story residence covered 6,000 square feet and featured a copper-topped turret, moat, drawbridge, and basalt stone walls from Rocky Butte quarry.
Architect Jeter O. Frye designed the private residence between 1929 and 1931, combining English castle exterior features with Art Deco interior styling.
The property earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and received designation as a Portland Historic Landmark.
The main floor contained a garage, kitchen with breakfast area, living room, dining room, and music room, while the master bedroom connected to a deck.
The house attracted paying tourists after completion due to its architectural features, including a seven-foot-wide moat and wooden drawbridge entrance.
