#48 Fonthill Castle and Henry Mercer
Concrete, tile, and... castles? Today's episode is on Dr. Henry Chapman Mercer and the Fonthill Castle. On today’s episode, we are going to be talking about concrete construction. Or more accurately, one of America’s castles made entirely of pour-in-place hand-mixed concrete. Carefully constructed by a small team from a model and a sketchbook, this design is important not only for the history it housed in its wall, but also for the very history embedded in its walls. The blog post will be posted within the next 24 hours of the episode going live, but please check out https://www.mercermuseum.org/, for more information on visiting.
The blog is located at architecturecoffeeandink.com which also has the complete link of all my sources, previous episodes, and old blog posts.
