Since 2000, the "castle" and trails became part of Groton's protected open space and was opened to the public.[1] History and usesBancroft built the structure as a gift for his wife. He originally intended it as a bungalow to accompany a larger castle-like house, but lost funding before the additions could be realized.[2] In 1918, physician Harold Ayres purchased the bungalow and renovated it into a private sanitarium.[3] During the 1930s, the Groton Hunt Club used the bungalow for entertainment. During a July 4 fireworks celebration in 1932, the bungalow caught fire - leaving only the exterior stone walls intact.[4] Now anyone may hike to the top of the hill and visit what remains of the castle.
