105 N Walnut Ave, also known as the Bonnyconnellan Castle. The Shelby County Historical Society states that this home had 22 rooms, 4 bathrooms and over 5,000 sq. ft. of space. It had custom crafted hardwood floors in each room with different wood...ornately carved bannisters, a free-standing staircase that rose to the second floor with an interior adorned with ''over the top'' Victorian features. Originally built in 1886 to specifications set by John D. Loughlin who patterned it after a castle in County Cork, Ireland. Loughlin was the owner of the Sidney School Furniture Company and the Mary L. Poultry company. A 30' x 50' carriage house sits behind the building. The interior woodwork was stripped and taken off site during hard times, however, it has been located and may be purchased separately by someone wanting to complete an accurate renovation. It is not too late to bring it back to its' former beauty but it is in need of updates to save it from further disrepair.
