William Henry Morgan, the son of a European immigrant from Whales built Glamorgan Castle in Alliance, Ohio. William began construction of his new home in 1904 and sent his architect Willard Hirsh to Europe to study castles and methods of construction to ensure that his home on 50 acres would be on a truly grand European scale.

The castle walls are 13 inches thick and are made of Vermont marble, creating the look of solid, impenetrable old castles. Although a true a Renaissance man, William added many modern features such as a billiard room, a bowling alley, and a big indoor swimming pool. The Alliance City Schools purchased the castle in 1973, and today it serves as the central administrative office for the school district.
