I had never even heard of Rocky Hill Castle, the Chadds Ford structure gutted by fire early Jan. 12. The 12-bedroom stone mansion on five acres at 119 Bullock Road was on the market for $674,000. It was built in 1821 as a summer house and also had a three-story, five-stall barn. Even before the fire, the real-estate listing warned that the house and barn "will need extensive renovations and being sold in as is condition." Photos on realtor.com show a lovely old stained-glass door and split staircase, but it's clear that the place was very far from being in turnkey condition.
