Built for newspaper publisher Swan J. Turnblad, the house was completed in 1908 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This fine example of turn-of-the-century chateauesque architecture is filled with intricately carved oak, walnut and mahogany interiors. Painted plaster sculpturing decorates the ceilings. The centerpiece of the 33-room mansion is a two-story grand entrance hall. The house also features eleven unique Swedish porcelain tile stoves called kakelugnar.

I would love to have a "tower" room in my house....it would be filled with books and I would use it as a Library :)
