Bannerman

That's Bannerman Castle on the Hudson River near West Point. I explored the island years ago before the Castle started crumbling. There is now a group looking to preserve and restore what's left of the structure.
We have a long thread on the castle here on the site somewhere.

From what I can read, Mr. Bannerman stuffed some most interesting items into the castle, and spread some around on the grounds. He had to be VERY wealthy to do what he did.
