Rich in History

This was the former home of Mr. Anton Shirmer. Born in 1852 in the Alsace Lorraine area of France, he served in the Franco-Prussian War under Napoleon III and emigrated to America in 1872. Shirmer was a stone mason by trade who built some of McAlester's early buildings. Many of these are still standing. His "castle" boasts 20 inch thick walls of sandstone cut from a nearby hill. It also features a wonderful huge veranda that encircles the mansion on three sides, perfect for relaxing outdoors. The interior reflects the Victorian period throughout, with five large comfortable bedrooms to choose from.
