Dundas Castle (Roscoe, New York)

Dundas Castle, also called Craig-e-Clair, is a neo-Gothic house near Roscoe in Sullivan County, New York.

[3] Wurts-Dundas was a wealthy and prominent New Yorker, the grandson of William Wurts, one of three brothers who built the Delaware & Hudson Canal.

[3] Dundas wanted to expand the existing Beaverkill Lodge into the finest mansion his money could buy.

"[4] For his European-style castle, Dundas imported slate roofing from England, iron gates from France, and marble from Italy for floors, fireplaces, and staircases.

"[3] Unfortunately, that project did not happen, so the Masons developed the property into a vacation retreat, using a barn as a recreation center, an old farmhouse for administration, and the castle for a fishing and hunting resort.
