Original Castle Burned Down.

For the Hoboken property John
Stevens paid the sum of $4,000
which was considered an enormous
amount in those days. The castle re-
built by Col. John Stevens was
burned down and the present struc-
ture erected about fifty years ago.
So. though there has been castle
on Castle Point for nearly 200 years,
including the Bayard building, yet
the present structure is third in the
line of descent
At the present the park surrounding
the castle consists of triangular
piece of ground containing about ten
acres. 1t is inclosed by wall and
the entrance to the grounds is through
a picturesque lodge gate. really castel-
lated in character. "A broad and we'll
kept drive sweeps in curve up the
hill to the front of the house. One
enters the spacious building through
a vestibuie from which a high arched
door, guarded on either side by two
great bronze statues of knights in ar
NOR. opens into the central rotunda
of the castle. This rotunda, OF en-
trance hall. is filed with many fine
old pieces of heavy furniture, and on
the walls are family portraits of the
Stevenses and their allied families
There are eight rooms on the ground
floor besides the great entrance hall
Three great drawing rooms, one fur
nished in yellow, one in red and one
in blue, open from the rotunda- Then
there is the great dining room, spac-
ious library, billiard room, bedroom
and a bath and a housekeeper's room.
On the floor above are twelve bed
rooms and a number of bathrooms. In
all. the house contains twenty rooms
