A former Mansion in May location, the Glynallyn Castle has been carefully restored by its current owners. Constructed 100 years ago, the 32,000 square foot mansion features intricate woodworking, stained glass, and many hidden doors – including one which leads to a dungeon. Nestled among the other fabulous homes on the stretch of road known as “Millionaire’s Row” in Morristown, Glynallyn was the dream of New York Businessman George Marshall Allen and was built as a replica of the Compton Wynates Manor, and English castle built in the early 1500’s.
The tour will begin at 10:00 a.m. on June 21 with check-in at 21 Normandy Parkway, Morristown. Guests must visit this location first to receive their admission wristbands, program booklets, and tour routes. Tour homes will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Check-in is mandatory and will close at noon. Participants may visit as many sites as they wish and in any order they wish; however, wristbands will be required for access to all locations.
