How big was the Boarding House?

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.

Which is what Marcone may have done.

It could be done (by a billionaire) even in the real world (You'd be amazed at what Ive seen thrown up during the 10-day yearly shutdown some of these plants and mills do all their maintenance in). For a stacked-stone structure the real bottleneck is the physical transportation of the material (deep-sea shipping and customs delay) but Id say there's even odds that Marcone arranged for NN transportation.

No. Moving a sizable working castle from Scotland to Chicago and having it’s mortar dry enough for it to be a secure facility in under six months would be impossible even with modern tech and magic. It is too much mass to move unless a god steps in and finger snaps the building from one place to another. Cash isn’t going to influence a god in that context.

In six months?
wardenferry419:
A quick Google search says that the smallest castle in England takes up about 61% of an acre. Ohh, and it was for sale a year ago.

Well, Odin does seem to like Marcone and it's his einherjar staffing the place...
