Description:
"The Windings was completed in 1869. Said to be modeled after England's Kenilworth Castle, the house was designed by Thomas Sargent for William Clifford Neff. Swiss wood carvers reportedly labored for three years on the hand-wrought oak and black walnut mantels, panels, doors, and staircase. Reputedly he so overspent himself on his house that he could not afford to live in it and in 1876 sold it to the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. It eventually housed Sacred Heart Academy, a girl's preparatory school. Neff's castle stopped with the four-story tower. As the school grew, additions became necessary. Sacred Heart Academy closed in 1970. The Windings, which retains much of its former elegance within, has recently undergone conversion into condominiums." description "The Windings was completed in 1869.
