6 Stop 6 of 10 on Central Park Is a Lie

Belvedere Castle

A Preview

"Belvedere Castle. Look at it. A castle. In Central Park. In Manhattan. It's fake. Obviously. But here's the thing — it's EXTRA fake. Vaux and Mould designed it in eighteen sixty-seven and finished it by eighteen seventy-two — with no doors and no windows. None. It wasn't a building — it was a decoration."
