| Bannerman's Island Arsenal on the Hudson |
Europe isn't the only place with castles on islands. New York has one as well.
Bannerman started a military surplus business after the the American Civil War. He bought the island in 1900 to use as a place to store his growing inventory of munitions. He built the castle to use as a warehouse. Wikipedia has the story. Bannerman Castle Trust offers tours of the place.

| Bannerman Castle |
Forgotten Weapons got me started.
There is an I-84 that runs north of the castle. It goes west as far as Scranton, New York. There is also an I-84 that runs east out of Portland, Oregon to Salt Lake City, Utah. The two are separated by 1900 miles.
