Robert Dafford's mural in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Big Art in Point Pleasant

I went to Point Pleasant, W.Va. to check out Mothman, an A-list monster that appeared there in the 1960s – and in a Richard Gere movie 40 years later.
Built of local sandstone, the castle was a gift from Colonel Taylor Suit to his young wife Rosa. He only lived a year in it. Photos (except for one, noted) by Steve Shaluta, courtesy Travel Berkeley Springs.
