How big was the Boarding House?

Shipping might not be an issue. My guess is that you could land the castle in Chicago, direct from anywhere since you have access to the Atlantic directly. The problem would be taking it apart without breaking it, and indexing so you could reconstruct it. If you're interested some enterprising group is building a small castle in France. https://www.guedelon.fr/en/introduction_75.html Of course magic.

Well, someone bought a London Bridge made of stone took it apart and shipped it to Arizona and put it up over a man made lake in the middle of the desert..

Well, to be fair it sounds like that one actually just used the original stone to facade over modernized concrete structure.
What Marcone was /wanting/ to do was this:
Which makes sense in light of Marcone, Morgan, and Murphy all having inspiration taken from that show. Makes me really think there was some magic significance to it like in the show, either the castle itself provides different protections, he was trying to control the NN side, or maybe like the show it satisfied some magic spell condition.
Mr. Death:
Who knows, maybe Marcone will get Gard to work out some levitation runes, raise it over the clouds and see if anything wakes up.

You know, all joking aside it DOES mention that there are tonnes of gargoyles on the thing, getting more and more ugle as you go up. Historically those are supposed to be supernatural guardians, I wonder if his are similarly legit in some fashion (He's not the sort to decorate like that without purpose)

If you notice, the first thing I always point out that connects Marcone to Arthur is his dual Christian and Celtic overtones, especially in FM were Harry mentions the church on his property was moved their stone by stone too. Marcone has a flair for it apparently, which is not to say it's not all kinds of significant.
