Castles of New York Updated: Friday, 22 Oct 2010, 9:57 AM EDT Published : Thursday, 21 Oct 2010, 2:36 PM EDT MYFOXNY.COM - Dignitaries and high society folks make their homes in New York, but how many of them live in castles? Scott Ian Barry, author of "Castles of New York," takes readers on a tour of the most extravagant and historic giant homes across the state.

I stand with my back to the stark limestone tower of Lyndhurst, one of America’s finest Gothic revival mansions, and gaze across an expanse of lush, green meadows that roll like a tidal wave to the Hudson River, below. This could be a scene plucked from the ancient myths of England, Ireland, or Wales, replete with warriors bathed in the glow of glistening armor. . . . Instead, this is Tarrytown, New York, located just several miles down Route 9 from the village of legend, Sleepy Hollow. Lyndhurst seems very much at home here, very much a part of the land that was once called “The Hudson Highlands,” where a terrified school teacher named Ichabod Crane fled for his life from a malevolent headless horseman, and a wife-weary fellow named Rip Van Winkle fell into a deep, twenty-year sleep beneath an expansive oak tree.

He could have easily been the charming knight courting the lady or the iron-plated warrior in the swash-buckling battle. He might have lived in the courts of great kings and dukes, or he might have even been part of the aristocracy itself. (Read more)
