This poem was written in favor of The Bannerman Castle's preservation.

"I Am Bannerman Castle" I'm a souvenir on this historical Valley; Concrete witness of wise courageous deeds; Keeping dreams and ideals in geometric forms, I stand proudly as a photo of a great mind! I was dreamed to honor the glorious labor Of an entrepreneurial pioneer... Conceived as an architectural jewel, A castle without vassals... — that's my motto,— In an oriflamme swaying high to freedom! My conceiver and builder made a name, Adding facts to the Spanish American war; But it was through the First World War that his fame Came... I was then and am now — honoring his glory, For I am romance, persevering and heroical! History — is written in — on every wall; All reminiscences are etched on the doors. Sublime emotions of romantic atmosphere Of a blissed life of Frank and Helen; milady And milord Bannerman; and their heritage Of botany, commerce, courage and visions! The energy of their love and union I feel; The dance to celebrate their togetherness In the night they revived their vows to life... And their second honey moon's commencement: Lady Helen and Lord Bannerman serenaded On the cadence and flow of "Tonight We Love"... And, in that blissed celebration of love and art — The music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — they danced! Yes, history is future... I'm Bannerman Castle... — Will You let the indifference make me a vassal?! © — By Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU N.B.: I appreciate Your visit and comments, and also any high-tech-hard critique.

I love those old and majestic buildings. Recently our hometown renovated and restored the city's courthouse. It came with a hefty price tag, but it was well worth it. We need to preserve our history.

Thank you for the history lesson. I had never heard of Bannerman Castle although I have been to places like Mark Twain's retreat in the Finger Lakes area. Yes, this was a castle without vassals. And, built with the proceeds of left over munitions of war.
