Der herrschaftliche Prachtbau wurde in Anlehnung an das Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England vom Architektenbüro von Horace Trumbauer 1893–1897 errichtet; Chefdesigner war zu dieser Zeit Frank Seeburger (bis 1909). Grey Towers Castle besitzt 40 Räume auf drei Etagen, wobei sich die große Haupthalle über alle Etagen bis zum Dach erstreckt. Die im Stil der französischen Renaissance gehaltene Innenarchitektur wurde von Trumbauer in Zusammenarbeit mit William Baumgarten & Company aus New York ausgeführt.
