Greystone Castle, Tudor Revival cottage in Newlands Manor, Reno, United States

Greystone Castle is a residential property in Reno featuring stone walls, steeply pitched roofs, and decorative half-timbering that interprets English medieval design. The building sits in the Newlands Manor neighborhood and showcases the stylistic details typical of Tudor Revival construction.

Greystone Castle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its Tudor Revival architecture and for its link to Reno's role as a migratory divorce town. The listing followed the 1906 William E. Corey divorce, after which Reno drew people who had to reside in the city for six months to obtain a divorce. The cottage is the kind of smaller upscale housing such people used during that waiting period.

The house is a cottage, not a castle, and its name is the only grand thing about it. It stands in Newlands Manor, the kind of smaller upscale housing that people seeking a divorce rented during the six-month residency Reno required. The William E. Corey divorce first made the city known for these quicker proceedings.

The building is a private residence, so visitors can only view the exterior facade from the street. Daytime visits work best for photographs since natural light highlights the stone details and timber work clearly.

The name "Greystone Castle" is a nickname for what is officially a small Tudor-style cottage, not a fortified building. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places rests on two grounds: its Tudor Revival style and its link to Reno's role as a migratory divorce town, where the six-month residency requirement drew people such as William E. Corey.
