Atalaya Castle, located in Huntington Beach State Park, Pawleys Island, South Carolina, was built by Archer Huntington and his wife Anna between 1931 and 1933. Archer was a philanthropist from New York City and designed the house to be a winter residence for him and his wife after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He designed the plans himself based on Spanish or Moorish architecture coupled with his own imagination. Anna, who was an artist and sculptor, did her part as well and designed the wrought iron grills that serve as hurricane protection on all the windows. • The castle has thirty rooms laid out around three sides of a courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, surrounded by native plants, is a water tower that is forty feet tall after which the house was named. ‘Atalaya’ means ‘Watchtower’ in Spanish. Various other areas included indoor and outdoor studios for Anna to work on her art, and animal enclosures where they kept bears, horses, monkeys, and a leopard. • For more info on Atalaya Castle, visit http://www.atalayacastle.com/ • For more info on Pawleys Island, contact us at [email protected] or call/text 843-424-0995
