The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Why a fortress? And why at Harry's old boarding house location?
UncommonSense:
Chances are that Little Chicago melted in the fire, pewter has a low melt point, and Marcone wouldn’t be able to glean much from it I agree, though, that Marcone likely built on the spot to show that Chicago is still Protected. That goes hand in hand with his claim of Chicago as it’s Baron.
Wizard Sibelis:
actually now, I looked at LC through the sieve of generational cycles and repeating events and realized the one thing shown that matches what LC seemed to do, is the stone table actually. It contains the meta connection to our planet's seasonal powers and overlays Chicago perfectly.. I doubt Chekov's gun just disappeared never to be seen again... Hell considering it's use as a time travel device I simply disbelieve the thing is actually any more gone than Justin is Ded.

LC appears to have been a literary blind alley. I think JB considered it deadwood, like Harry's apt. The fire had been telegraphed earlier as a major risk. LC itself was set up as time consuming to maintain. The apt. had to go.
Harry no longer has a home. JB has created a dilemma. Harry wants to raise Maggie, but what father in his right mind would do so on the island. Maybe Harry will deal for the castle. As described it would make a great Wizards lair. Maybe a condo on the 4th floor. Marcone won't hurt kids and he might be open to the idea given sufficient incentives. JB pointed out through Butters that there is a daycare on the premises. With Harry there, Maggie is safe from attack through the NN. The warriors in the basement provide muscle against more straightforward attacks.
I don't believe it, but it makes a certain sense. And who built it? Maybe the Svartalves? Which would explain the speed at which it was built. If so then the castle could be shielded against magic. Which would mean Maggie doesn't have to live in a cold water flat. And Harry could have a hot shower. ;)

That should exclude the possibility all by itself ;)

I actually think it may have something to do with Mrs. Spunklecrief and who she is. I like to think she has Fae roots herself. In fact, I have some weird theory that she might be the abdicated Mother Summer or something like that. If true, then it wouldn't just be Harry's presence within the apartment that made that location important, or Lea's protective precautions for it within the NN due to her obligations to Harry via deal made with his mother, it could possibly be some sort of power remnant from Mrs. Spunklecrief having resided there.
