This is one of the most unique homes in America. John Hays Hammond Jr., America's second greatest inventor built his castle home on the rocky Atlantic shore in Gloucester, MA. The castle functioned both as a home and as the site of the Hammond Research Corporation's laboratories. The Hammonds surrounded themselves with priceless artifacts from around the world.
