A.J. Adams Residence, Bradentown
No full textPictured is the home of A.J. Adams, better known as Adams Castle. The home was built by Major Alden Joseph (A.J.) Adams and his wife, Adelaide. Adams was a Union veteran who moved to Manatee in 1876. He bought 400 acres on the Manatee River and began building his home. His property ran from today's Manatee Memorial Hospital all the way to 9th Street East. Construction took over seven years and much of the interior woodwork was sourced from a sunken ship. He completed the home in 1882 and then purchased thousands of additional acreage. Adams imported exotic plants and animals such as monkeys and parrots to fill the landscape. Officially named Villa Zanza, the home became known by the informal Adams Castle. A.J. Adams died in 1915 and is buried at Major Adams Cemetery. In April 1924, the Adams homestead was purchased by Northern developers John Moody, R.G. Whitney, and J.H. Wetts. Advertised intentions were for the home to be restored as the home of R.G. Whitney but instead it was demolished in summer of 1924. Adams property became the Beau Vue Estates neighborhood in East Bradenton.
