History

The two-story mansion was completed in 1896.[2] It was designed as a mock castle.[2] The mansion was built for Robert Brinkley Snowden, a real estate developer who grew up at Annesdale.[2]

The mansion was used as a restaurant by the 1950s.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 13, 1983.[3]

In the 1990s it was purchased by Prince Mongo, who opened it as a nightclub often referred to as ‘Prince Mongo’s Castle’,[4] before finally being closed as a nuisance in 2000.

In 2017 it was sold to a new owner who worked in construction, who had plans to renovate the building. It was then used in 2019 for an immersive theatre production “Rights of Spring”, by the Julia Hinson’s theater group Lost In Found.[5]

By 2023 it had been fully restored and was due to open as an events venue.[6]
