A bit of England in Tucson ~ royal weirdness!

So imagine my surprise as I was driving down Blacklidge just west of Campbell and saw this castle! I asked a girl walking her dog if she knew anything about the castle and she said that she thought it was occupied by a family. Anyone know anything more about this interesting residence? I guess the "drawbridge" gate is the garage door. No moat, though.

  1. This is completely bizarre and cool. This is on Blacklidge?? I must take a look....I've been here years and have never seen that place....well Tucson is a big place:) Wouldn't you love to see what it looks like inside?

  2. If you find out anything about it, let me know! And if you take any photos, I'm happy to post them. I couldn't get a good angle to capture the tower.

  3. I live right down the street from this place. I'm not sure, but I think it is occupied by a war veteran.
