This castle-like residence built by James Bailey, of Barnum and Bailey Circus fame, certainly incorporates the magic wonder of the circus with its turrets, Flemish-inspired gables, porches, balconies, 66 windows and interior detail. The 12,000-foot Romanesque Revival beauty served as a funeral home since the fifties and has recently returned to residential ownership and is in the process of being fully renovated.

View from street only. This is currently a private residence.
