Chicago Gothic Castle Treasures Vanish From Public View
A South Side Gothic castle once housing 2500 medieval, Renaissance and Western treasures valued at over 25 million dollars has disappeared with its treasures hidden. George F. Harding amassed items from 1913 to 1939 and built the castle as a public gift, but current custodians say the collection no longer belongs to the public. The castle was torn down in 1965.
