Originally built in 1868 by the New York newspaperman and land developer Lloyd W. Tomkins, this structure was a two-story home. But after David Brinkerhoff Ivison, president of the American Book Company, bought it in 1887 he turned the building into a three-story turreted mansionwith25 rooms, including a music room and a carriage porch. In the 1930's and indoor pool was installed on the second floor, the walls of which can still be seen in parts of the castle. It was bought in the 1970's by Farleigh Dickinson University and they built a campus around it.
