Pratt's Castle Pratt's Castle along the Fox River Trail in Elgin, IL. "A man's home may be his castle but when was the last time you actually saw a castle in a residential neighborhood? Medieval history buff Harold S. Pratt built this imposing replica in 1937. His real home was nearby on Douglas Avenue. Pratt modeled the design on a castle he saw along the Rhine River while serving in World War I. This building was a private museum housing Pratt's personal collection of medieval artifacts. The 50 foot tall tower is surrounded by a mini-moat and a working draw bridge. The castle is still in private ownership, although, Pratt's collection is no longer here."
