West side of the Tower. June 12, 1998
Notice the turret in the upper left (northwest corner of the Tower). It is six feet wide. Not visible in this photo, the turret on the southwest corner is 8 feet wide, another Bannerman architectural trick. Francis Bannerman's sketches and plans were recently uncovered at the Hagli Institute in Delaware. You couldn't contstruct a building today using Bannerman's methods; it wouldn't be legal, and no builder would work with you. The builders of Bannerman Castle had mere scraps of paper to work with.
