Henry Mercer's poured-concrete castle showcases his handcrafted Arts & Crafts tiles throughout, with tours praised for bringing its quirky history to life.
Description
The house is a showcase for Mercer’s ceramic work, with hand-molded Arts & Crafts tiles set into ceilings and walls throughout. Guides are consistently praised for weaving the story of how it was built into tours that feel energetic rather than recitational. A note on pacing: visitors on a longer 9:30am tour see the entire house, while shorter tours cover only part of it. The library and its huge windows are a highlight for some, as are the astonishing tile work and unusual artifacts.
