Description
Situated on Pollepel Island in the Hudson River in the Hudson Highlands, Bannerman's Castle sits in ruins today. David Bannerman sold munitions in NYC. The Bannermans purchased the island from the Taft family in 1900 as a safe storage site. Mr. Bannerman began construction on a simulated Scottish castle and simple residence in 1901. There is a house on the other side of the little island and several gardens and paths around the island. In 1967 it was given to the Taconic Park Commission. Around 1969, there was a great fire which destroyed a lot of the castle.
