Villa Catherine Moorish home on Quincy river bluff
The Old Castle on a river bluff in South Quincy draws thousands of excursionists. Built 1961 by George Metz as Villa Catherine, its Moorish interiors, river views, and exotic furnishing reflected Algerian life. After Metz, the house fell into neglect, with the garden overgrown, walls peeling, and only the crescent atop the roof spared from decay.
