They say a man's home is his castle....never more true
if you lived at 1428 Monroe Turnpike. Locally known as
"The Castle", this Landmark is an iconic structure in this

quintessential CT town. Custom built in 1936 by a NY
financier, Freemason's painstakingly constructed this
fortress, and left their mark with Masonic symbols inlaid

throughout the stonework. It has hosted many lavish parties
and events when a NYC Opera SInger named Lisa Roma
lived here in the 1940's. She would host Hollywood Actors
and NY aristocrats alike for these galas. It was then part of
the Sisters of Zarath estate and used as their private chapel

and operation headquarters. When it became too much for
them to maintain, a local builder and his family decided to
save it from demolition and purchase, then restore it back

to life, blending it's unique details with a
modern and highly efficient
infrastructure.
