Photo of Union General Philip Kearny's House, Known to Locals as Kearny Castle, in What Would Become Kearny, New Jersey (1862)

 

View of  Union General Philip Kearny's house, known to locals as Kearny Castle, in what would become Kearny, New Jersey, 1862. The photo was taken a few months before Kearny was killed at the Battle of Chantilly in September 1862. The house was also known as Bellegrove Chateau and Kearny Manor and seems to have been demolished in 1927 after it was sold at auction in 1926. Taken by Amateur Photographic Exchange Club member William Mead and originally published as a stereoview.
