Staircase To The Remnants of Madame Sherri's Castle

Madame Sherri-
In 1929, she purchased a small farmhouse on the side of Rattlesnake Mountain and began buying up adjoining acreage. For the 17 years she remained in New Hampshire, that farmhouse was her primarily residence, and, by all accounts, it was a squalid place. With no electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing, the house was crammed with memorabilia from her life in New York, leaving little room to move around.
But while the farmhouse apparently suited Antoinette’s daily needs, it would not do for entertaining, so, in 1931, she began work on a lavish castle. Much to the consternation of local workmen, she was involved in every aspect of construction – apparently badgering many artisans until they quit.
She did much of this, it was said, in a floor-length fur coat and nothing else.
