Marion Castle, Renaissance mansion in Shippan Point, Stamford, United States.
Marion Castle is a Renaissance-style mansion on Rogers Road in Stamford, distinguished by its white walls, numerous chimneys, and a prominent central tower. The building overlooks Long Island Sound and sits on generous grounds with gardens extending toward the shoreline.
Frank Marion, an early motion picture producer, commissioned architects Hunt & Hunt to design this residence, completed in 1914. The mansion was built during an era when wealthy industrialists and art patrons constructed estates along Connecticut's coastline.
The property serves the local community through numerous non-profit events and gatherings hosted by current owner Thomas Rich since 1998.
The estate is located in the Shippan Point waterfront area and can be viewed from outside, with the impressive facade and gardens visible from the street. The site offers views across Long Island Sound and sits in a neighborhood that is pleasant to walk through at any time.
This structure remains the only building in Shippan Point listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
