The home of an icon: During his career as an actor, William Gillette portrayed world-renowned character Sherlock Holmes in more than 1,300 performances. His career as a playwright and actor afforded him the opportunity to purchase a 184-acre estate, where he also built a twenty-four-room medieval-style castle. Overlooking the Connecticut River, Gillette's castle was complete with spy mirrors, sliding furniture, hidden rooms and a three-mile, quarter-scale railroad. ...Erik Ofgang examines the history of an iconic structure and Gillette's life and role in the evolution of Sherlock Holmes -- Cover, page [4]
