Screwback pin with three towers and large "F"

On vacation in Pa. And my iPod won't let me post a pic, but I'll put one up when I get home. Found an old screwback pin at an old homestead in PA. With what looks like three towers or buildings with a large "F" over the center one. Any ideas what it represents? The towers look like they have turrets like a castle. Thanks .... Rich

I've seen Army Corps of Engineers collar pins with a number on them, but not a letter as far as I can remember.
