Bannerman Castle
Pollepel Island, Dutchess County; bannermancastle.org 
The remains of Bannerman Castle on Pollepel Island used to catch my eye while I was taking the train to NYC. The landmark was once used as a warehouse for military surplus, built by scrap dealer Francis Bannerman VI to house equipment and munitions he began acquiring at the end of the Civil War. Bannerman designed the structure, and a smaller one he used as a summer home, as a nod to his Scottish heritage. Shortly after his death in 1918, an explosion of artillery shells stored on the island badly damaged the castle. A fire in 1969 and a snowstorm in 2009 would further destroy what was left. Today, you can visit the castle remains by taking a boat tour or kayaking to the island.
