Historical Data	The J. J. Haggarty Mansion, otherwise known as Castle York, was located at 3330 W. Adams Blvd. in the fashionable West Adams section of Los Angeles. The building, of Norman Gothic architecture, was built at a cost of $100,000. Frontage was of 125 feet on south side of Adams and extended back to a depth of 500 feet. Structure itself was 92x91 feet in size. A tower planned after one of the famous towers of Windsor castle, stood forty feet in height and twenty feet in diameter rising at the northwest corner of the building. A second tower, twelve feet in diameter and fifty feet high, at the northeast corner, was copied after a famous castle in Yorkshire. The interior consisted of living room, organ loft, dining room, billiard room, sixteen bedrooms, servants' quarters, kitchens, pantries and china closets, along with numerous porches, balconies, gardens, and barns. Haggarty Mansion has since been demolished.
Description	Photograph caption dated July 1, 1941 reads, "The red-brick, turreted Haggarty castle on West Adams boulevard, one of Los Angeles' landmark mansions, today was being emptied with the sale of its rich furnishings from the Old World. This photo shows the center court of the castle, with a huge rough-stone waterfall extending from ground to second-story level. Rich reception furniture was wet on floor of Italian marble."
