Title
Castles in the Thousand Islands
Description
These four images come from a book of 33 views featuring the Thousand Islands, located in the St. Lawrence River as it exits Lake Ontario. Some of the photographs are focused on natural features, but a majority admire larger-than-life "castles" built on individual islands. During the 1880s-90s, wealthy families of the Gilded Age seemed determined to outdo each other in constructing opulent vacation homes that soon were dubbed "Millionaire's Row."
The ones included here are as follow: 1. Dark Island Castle, built for Frederick Gilbert Bourne, president of the Singer Manufacturing Company; 2. Castle Rest, built for George M. Pullman, manufacturer of the eponymous railway cars; 3. Boldt Castle, built for George Boldt, general manager of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel; 4. Thousand Island House, an exclusive hotel whose guests included Andrew Carnegie, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Mark Twain.
