Does anyone know about certain faux medieval castle type buildings
constructed in the American Southwest in the 1920's, called
"Avicenna castles" ? Evidently there were dozens of these castles
across the Southwest. I have no idea who or what Avicenna was, or
what towns they are in. Can anyone help?
