Talk about a castle! Kalorama Castle in Staunton, Virginia was built in 1882 for Arista Hoge. Hoge was the Treasurer of Staunton and the founder of the Atlas Insurance Agency. I’d consider this one a sorta frankenhouse in style because of the many achitectures that it reflects. It was originially built as a brick federal style home. In the 1890’s, a Queen Anne style porch was added, but it was given a Romanesque brownstone facade. And then in 1905, a Colonial Revival porch was added to its west side. So many styles on this one!
