Stokes Castle built out of native granite was built by an Ansom Stokes who had various investments and stock into some of the local mines as well as being a railroad magnate. He had this tower built for mainly his sons particularly J.G. Phelps during the summer months. When Stokes visited Rome Italy he felt in love with a medieval tower deciding to build an exact replica in turn in the Toiyaybe mountains of Austin. The first floor had the kitchen and dining area. The second floor was a den and living room. The third floor had two bedrooms one for each of the sons. The roof was the observation deck from on top of the here you could see for a couple hundred miles on a clear day. You could also supervise the miners you employed working in the mines below the tower. The tower had the finest of furnishings however the sons only stayed in it from June of 1896 to July of 1896 leaving it to the elements. The elements had rotted the floors out and today a shell of its former glory remains. Each room had a fireplace and they needed one as the winters in this mountain range were brutal. The tower was one of the only locations in Austin that had working plumbing. It is a historic relic in relation to the town as a testament to the great wonders built by the masons who gathered locally downtown. Their is a a legend that the sons had buried some of there gold somewhere below the tower till this day no treasure hunter has ever found it.
