About
Preston Castle was constructed in 1894 as the administration building for the Preston School of Industry, a reform school for boys. The Romanesque Revival style of architecture was designed to give the building the appearance of a school rather than a prison. The Castle opened in June 1894 and remained in use until 1960. After a group of local women fought to save it from demolition, the Preston Castle Foundation took over the building in 2001 and later gained ownership in 2014. The foundation's mission is to preserve, rehabilitate, and utilize the historic Preston Castle site while also preserving the history of the school, its staff, and the boys who attended.
