Boldt Castle, Heart Island, Alexandria Bay, New York

The background info for Boldt Castle is on the next blog... I messed up the order on this one!

The castle itself is six stories high with 120 rooms and a swimming pool! In the first picture, I am standing in the Italian style gardens looking up at the front of the house. You can see Nana sitting on the right corner in a blue shirt!

The small building at the very back of the island that looks like it's own little castle is actually the power house. There were turbines and engines back here so the sound and smell of the gas would not disturb anyone. It is connected to the island by a bridge, and allowed for fuel to be delivered right into the back of the powerhouse. There is also a gazebo and a hennery on the island. The roof of the powerhouse had to be rebuilt when 4th of July fireworks from a celebration in Alexandria Bay hit the roof and lit it on fire!
