CAMPBELL CASTLE

Built in 1888 by cattleman Burton Harvey Campbell, it is the only "castle" style home remaining from Wichita's building boom of the 1880's. Modeled after a feudal Scottish castle, the original interior woodwork features a variety of woods, including walnut, mahogany, and cherry. The home boasts eight original fireplaces found on several floors. Constructed of rough-hewn limestone blocks, the home features a three-story castellated tower, with carved stone animal figures. A two-story carriage house accompanies the house. Note the decorated gargoyle and chimaera figures found on the house. In 1994, the home was purchased and rehabilitated as a bed and breakfast facility.
