The custom built castle, named Edna after the Abercrombie children, was constructed in the 1920's by the famous family whose name is behind the popular clothing brand. Shortly after it was built, several deaths in the family occurred, two of the children, along with David T. Abercrombie (brand co-founder) himself.

In February of 2022, the castle went on the market for a cool $3.1 million, but tragedy struck once again not long after.
