Castle Farms in Charlevoix,and other castles in Michigan.

Post by Anna »

I found this link which shows new and old photos of Castle Farms in Charlevoix,Michigan. Does anyone know where I could find any history on Castle Farms ?

Has anyone ever heard of Curwood Castle in Owosso and the Franklin Brewery Castle in Marquette ?

Being one that enjoys a good brew & architecture, I came upon this:

http://www.dupontcastle.com/castles/brewery.htm

"The brewery was torn down some years ago, but there are a couple of buildings still standing. The one that resembles a castle (which I believe was the brewery headquarters, though don't quote me on that) is now an office building with a sandstone exterior, and stands at the corner of Meeske Avenue and W. Washington St. across U.S. 41 from the Holiday Inn."
