ILLUS: In the heart of West Virginia is located Berkley Castle. Berkley Castle is the only English Norman Castle in America and is a National and West Virginia registered historical landmark. It is one of the most interesting and unusual properties in the East. It contains 20 rooms including a 45'x26' great room with fireplaces and 16' ceilings. The dining room and second floor library are paneled in carved Georgina pine. There are eight bedrooms, six full baths, three half baths and a fine apartment with its own kitchen, bath, bedroom and ...
