The castle portion was always locked up and unused. We used to beg the caretaker(Norman) to let us play up there. He always said no, but did show it to us a time or two. Norman lived in an apartment in the basement on the corner. There were storage lockers and a hand wring washing machine available for use in the basement too. The first floor had 2 apartments. The second floor had 3. The second floor hallway always spooked me as a child and I rarely went up there. <br /><br />I recently found a website called coloradoparanormal.net that has additional information and video on the Castle. <br /><br />There is an article called A Great Journey. Google, Dr. Anterro Ferdinand Tanner. It's a great little read about his arrival in Ely and him building the "Castle" or what became known as, The Mayo Clinic of the North. <br /><br />I wish there was more information available on this building.<br />Thanks for the blog.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569842251641678859.post-9175219780780180482012-08-17T14:17:59.311-05:002012-08-17T14:17:59.311-05:00I learned to tie my shoes on the front steps. live...I learned to tie my shoes on the front steps. lived in the apartment on the 1st floor right side.

Friend of mine...Enjoyed the photos and commentary.<br /><br />Friend of mine lived in Ely when he was a kid, his father would tell him ghost stories about this castle. <br /><br />Used to live in Hastings, never knew that mill was there. Next time I head down that way, will have take a walk through there. Thank you. Keep up the great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
