It’s a 28,000-square-foot crown jewel in Northeast Ohio that is regarded as one of the area’s best-kept secrets outside of Alliance.
Built 120 years ago, Glamorgan Castle is rich in history. Still, there were some questions about how its future would look after major flooding damaged the mansion, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
However, the Alliance City School District, which owns the castle, is planning to transform the basement into a conference center for businesses and organizations.
In addition, a non-profit group called Castle Crusaders is exploring ways to restore other parts of the iconic structure while keeping the castle’s integrity.
When entering the rotunda of the castle, guests are immediately greeted with a glistening 6-foot-tall chandelier.
News 5 Cleveland “It has 4,426 crystals and 150 light bulbs,” said Connie Fussell, who is the director of activities for the castle.
Also in the rotunda are eye-catching marble statues along with a marble table that was purchased more than a century ago by Col. William H. Morgan, the president of Morgan Engineering Company.
