Thanks for the number of stories. I must have forgotten or missed that.
How big the castle is doesn't really answer the question of whether the lot was too small to hold it. My point is mostly that we don't have enough information to tell us that the lot wasn't big enough to hold it either, so we can conclude that it was.

What is shocking I think is how tiny the houses are in Chicago, and how expensive they are for the average family.. Not that there aren't big houses, there are, but for the very rich only or for those who have lived there for generations.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Lot is exactly as big as it needs to be for the purposes of the story, and only Eb and Listens know he married Demonreach (as Thomas puts it) through a sanctum invocation, Listens probably the only one who knows he has soulfire as he witnessed it being used against Shag.
Each Stone in the Castle is warded, like those on Demonreach, so it is likely only those destroyed by the eye are gone, the rest survive, and fortunately Harry has compatible stone to hand.
Harry is going to have to expose a lot of secrets to bring down the Titan, about what and who he is which is going to affect how people look at him.

Sorry, my bad, it's actually 25x125 feet. Don't know where my head was at. That's 3,125 square feet edge to edge, or 6,250 square feet if there were two lots.
A ballroom for a championship event in dancing has to be a minimum of 2,772. So the building would have to be at least two lots for anything else to be on the same floor as the room they were in.

And the Gatekeeper.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Ah yes, quite correct, he isn’t present though, but none of them know he has his super weapon arsenal, they would probably be concerned that the least powerful weapon in his armoury is Excalibur. Eb may have thought he retrieved that, instead he has something an order of magnitude greater at least, now they are going to find that out when he uses them.
